After going on-air with Global TV this morning it was off to Valley View Elementary, and then to Ian Bazalgette Jr High.  Thank You to both Principals and APs for having me speak with their students and parents this evening.  It was a fantastic day.  I appreciate the opportunity!

Thank you to the first two schools within the CBE to invite me to speak to the students and parents.  Your children were great!  We ran overtime this evening with the great parent turnout for both schools held at King George.  Thank You for all the wonderful feedback from parents – and the high fives from students!

“Many parents were surprised to hear how their children have been empowered with tools that can reach beyond the scope of their understanding and that these technological devices may in fact affect their future career aspirations.”  – Principal, Notre Dame CES

 

John Bosco CES

Thank You for inviting me to the Parent Evening for a preview of my November 20th presentation.  Looking forward to returning and speaking with the children and parents!  I appreciate the kind words & support from Officer Toni!  Your community is very fortunate to have such a dedicated person working with your children.

Notre Dame CES

Sept 18, 2012

Thank You to Notre Dame for having me today.  The students were great.  We ran out of time for the primaries in Q&A, but will be more than happy to answer any questions sent to me by your Principal. Thank You to the parents who attended tonight, and their great feedback!

St John Bosco CES

Sept 13, 2012

A great day at St John Bosco.  Both groups were very attentive.  For those older children who returned to join their parents this evening, I was impressed with how much they retained from the day’s session.  Thank You to the Staff, Students and Parents for having me today.

A quote I would like to share from a grade 8 girl at the school (who returned this evening with her parents)

“You are the first person to help me understand how cyber-bullying affects us kids, through real examples with technology – you are very direct” 

It’s when I hear the above that makes my day complete!!!

2012/2013 Directives

Sept 3, 2012

With the 2012/2013 school year upon us, the Social Networking Safety Presentation for Students and Parents/Educators has expanded in content.  The student presentation has been fined tuned to reflect what today’s students are using online.  The parents/educators presentation has expanded by 10min with the addition of more real-life examples and new technologies to look-out for.  The handout has also increased by two pages over the last school year.  More Knowledge = Safer students and families.

Ramping Up for Back to School

August 16, 2012

Another school year is in sight.  I am looking forward to another rewarding experience with students, teachers, principals and of-course, parents!  The presentation material is 40% new, 30% updated.  Parents – we are at a full 90min for your session!
