What a great presentation from Katie L. Greer about Tech Safety to our 4th and 5th graders! Superintendent Nauset Public Schools Orleans Elementary School NausetEES NausetEddy NausetWES

I use the car analogy a lot when it comes to talking about technology and our kids, specifically social media. Insightful The Guardian article and thoughts from the Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General theguardian.com/media/2024/mar…

This school entirely banned smartphones and the reactions from students may surprise you. Do you support schools banning smartphones? cnn.com/videos/us/2024…

The Senate Judiciary Committee is pressing social media execs to make social media safer for kids; in the meantime, The Washington Post shared 3 tips we can use now to make them safer. I'd change #3 to disable location services. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

I read an article while pregnant with my first about how big tech execs didn’t let their kids have access until later - so we’ve held off. This The Guardian piece confirming a lot of the same for social media. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

“Parents need to know that when children go online, they are entering a world of influencers…it’s a world that’s invisible to us, because when we log on to our social media, we don’t see what they see.” Must read The New York Times piece. nytimes.com/2024/01/12/opi…

Helllllll yes. Simple, common sense, overdue changes with kids’ safety in mind - a bipartisan effort no less! Let’s do this 💪 nytimes.com/2023/12/20/tec…

Schools nationwide are discussing and often revamping their personal device policies. Where do you stand on this? Are we helping or hurting kids by banning personal devices in schools? thehill.com/homenews/educa…

AI is moving faster than we could have imagined, with new AI products coming out daily. So, are they safe for kids? Here are some reviews: techcrunch.com/2023/11/16/sev…

I post this with ZERO judgement, as we all have different needs as families. That being said, we need to do a gut-check as parents, to make sure we're doing all we can to help our kids succeed with tech. This The New York Times article is SPOT on.

Thank you Katie L. Greer!

For my 11 year old, going with a Gizmo watch was one of the best things we did for her and us. Great stepping stone to things to come. Thanks to Parents and cheryl fenton for letting me be part of this article! parents.com/best-gps-track…

PUFSD Families - Please consider attending an adult program facilitated by Katie L. Greer about digital citizenship on 10/17 at 7:00 pm in the PHS auditorium. See you there!

How lucky am I? Had the best day speaking with smart, inquisitive students who blew me away today with their questions. Thank you for having me! 💚

Banning apps like TikTok really isn't a productive long-term solution. I love what NY legislators are working to pass, a more reasonable limiting of algorithms that are directly impacting our kids, and more parental oversight over time on these apps. postly.link/Ty1

If you have an adolescent girl, this is a MUST read. What an absolutely wonderful glimpse into the complexities that come along with being a teen girl with a device. Brilliant work, Jessica Bennett

I am so encouraged when organizations work together to prioritize important conversations around how we can utilize technology in a healthy and productive way. Thanks to Aimability and CSSHL for the opportunity to speak with your athletes and coaches 🏒🌟

According to a new The Trevor Project study, LQBTQ people of color feel the most safe using TikTok compared to other apps. I love studies like this, and look forward to learning more. postly.link/yr2
