Attendee Feedback

• Anonymous: “Terrifying and informative; thank you! My husband works in IT security and I’ve been teaching long enough to know this is all so important. Thank you!”
• Anonymous: “Very informative with a lot to consider about how Tik Tok and other social media platforms affect our students. I would also be interested in any resources you have for teaching digital literacy, specifically for middle school students.”

Thank you for sharing your many, many hours upon hours of research with those of us who need to know, but don’t have near the time you have invested to do the research. I believe you have positively impacted the lives and careers of uncountable educators, parents, and children.”
• Anonymous: “very information and important issues to think/consider in this time of education of remote learning.”
• Thérèse Ashton: “I am looking to hearing about your Alaska tour. I’d like to bring you to the Interior (Glennallen) so parents, as well as educators, can hear you speak. I would also love to have my students hear from an expert some of the things they can do to protect themselves as they learn and grow in the cyber world.”
