Program Description

The Digital Dilemma Assembly is an absolutely riveting 60 minute assembly that has recently been called "world-changing" and "life-saving" by kid and adult attendees respectively. Within the first 3 minutes, shocked kids and adults are introduced to potentially life-saving techniques that they can immediately use to protect themselves online.

Age appropriate versions for 2 grade through adult.

We are inevitably living in a digital world. While no one can simply unplug from it, far too many kids and parents learn about the danger too late. This perfectly formatted program helps everyone understand and address the dangers they are exposed to online. After addressing common Digital Citizenship concerns, Tim reveals the latest safety info on everything from internet predators, to Tik Tok challenges, to identity thieves, to the bully next-door, to the sharing of lewd photos; our nationally acclaimed instructor sheds light on each of these problems. He then proposes instant solutions that kids and adults can effectively use right now.

Next level graphics, energetic music and engaging participatory elements liven up every audience. From poor sleep hygiene, to obesity, self-harm and suicide, it is now clear that screen time is irreversibly harming our kids...but they don't know it. This class reviews the literature, exposes the poignant examples and even demonstrates how devices are hacked LIVE for students to see.

The parent version provides much-needed insight and instructions on how to set parent controls, limits and protections on kid's devices. How to set filters, what software to use and how to talk to your kids about social media.
