About the Program

An engaging, interactive session (workshop or talk) tailored for students, parents, and educators. It distills her cyber-safety guidance into five key "secrets" or principles that are easy to absorb and practice. This program is a derivative of her well regarded guidebook Be Safe in Cyberspace a concise, accessible manual offering practical online safety strategies for children and adults alike. The talk highlights common online dangers such as phishing, cyberbullying, identity theft, and oversharing that can profoundly affect real life. Translate the five essential “secrets” into actionable behaviors like safe browsing, managing privacy settings, using strong passwords, and understanding the consequences of online actions. Foster responsible digital citizenship by emphasizing ethical behavior and mindful engagement in cyberspace especially for younger audiences. Use stories, real-life examples, and interactive activities to ensure the content resonates well with tweens, teens, parents, and teachers without feeling overly lectured.
