Safety doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we are aware and equipped with resources to make Informed decisions.

I was recently approached to pull together a team of experts in my district on a presentation for some of our students. We are teaching them about the realities and dangers of sexting among pre-teens and teenagers. Talking about SEXTING with teens can make ALL of us feel uncomfortable. As #K12Leaders, we must find ways to support staff, parents and caregivers so they can facilitate the conversation with us. So, as part of our planning, we brainstormed ideas and pulled together resources.

What came out of it (besides the ongoing presentations we are doing) was a website created for adults as the intended audience. While there are plenty of resources here to be viewed alongside children, pre-tees, and teenagers – I recommend parents/caregivers spending time learning, exploring and choosing beforehand .

I am sharing my site with teachers as well. Some teachers have children who did not grow up during times like these, and some have little ones too young to use devices. However, we all know someone with children who are right in the thick of things – or will be soon enough . The Internet is a vast and ever-changing environment. The better informed adults are, the better we can support our students.

Check it out, provide feedback and share additional resources!

This website has become a labor of love…

For you. 💙
