I've just finished reading "Public and Permanent" by Richard Guerry.
I highly recommend it for any parents wishing to know more about how to guide their children safely in a "digital world." This is the most informed, current, and considered guidance I've read about online civility, and the potential ramifications (all avoidable) of poor judgment.
Please plan to join Mr. Guerry on 2/27/2023 at BAC from 7:30-8pm to learn more about how you can promote 'digital consciousness!'
It is never to early to start teaching digital citizenship.
