ABOUT THE EVENT:
Graber, who is also an educator and the co-founder of Cyberwise and CYBERCIVICS, will address parents, grandparents, and all those working with youth on Bainbridge Island and beyond regarding “Digital Parenting in the time of COVID.” Her presentation, which will be followed by a Q&A, will address the unique challenges parents and children face transitioning back to “normal.” She will cover increased screen time; maintaining safe and healthy online relationships; safe and productive social media use; and how to manage youths’ digital reputations and maintain personal privacy online.
In her book, RAISING HUMANS IN A DIGITAL WORLD: Helping Kids Build a Healthy Relationship with Technology, Graber deftly navigates and demystifies the complicated digital landscape facing today’s kids, defining buzzwords, answering crucial questions and providing parents and educators with activities they can use to teach children to harness technology rather than be harmed by it. An innovator in the field of digital literacy and trained in media psychology, Graber fully understands the overwhelming influence technology has on today’s young people and the challenges this presents. Everything a young person does online—every post, comment, photo—contributes to a digital profile that can open or close doors to their future.
