Social Networking Safety for Students and Parents - The Wake-Up Call
Paul Davis
www.socialnetworkingsafety.net
With 20+ years as a "techie" and almost as much experience as a parent, Paul Davis travels the country to educate both students and teachers on the pros and cons of social networking and online safety. Paul speaks to students almost daily at schools across Canada and brings a unique perspective back to educators. He is also an adept presenter for the "grown up" crowd, providing them with case studies, examples and scenarios that many have never considered - all with the aim of increasing online safety for our next generation.
LGBTQ Youth & Cyberspace: Uses, Abuses & Excuses of Online Media - Cyber Pitfalls for Gay & Lesbian Youth
Lindsey McInerney & Pink Triangle Program Students
Educators often struggle to create safe and inclusive classrooms and school climates for gay, lesbian and trans youth - but few know that there is a whole world online in which these students often exist. As an often disenfranchised group within schools and the community at large, these youth find strength and independence in the cyber-world ... but they can also find danger and exploitation. Lindsey, along with students from Pink Triangle Program classrooms, will bring a unique perspective on both protecting and encouraging queer students in the social media universe.
