Editor's Notes
- Experience and backgroundWhat we do at CWAIt is important to be active in the digital world with our kids
- Feel free to ask questions as we go.
- Safely: We’re doing a good job with messaging this.Responsibly: ongoing conversation with students as they grow and experience new things.The impact of media on our lives forces all of us to be critical consumers of media.Look at the source.Are we being sold something? Is (fill in topic here) really a crisis? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!

- Family computer in a public space.Charging station for gadgets/devices.Realistic, age-appropriate guidelines and expectations for use.Share expectations with peer familiesBe aware of how much time you spend with technology (Power outage?) 7.5 - 8.5 hours (Kaiser Family Foundation)
- Have them show you their favorite sitesWatch YouTube videos together.Learn a new game! ANGRY BIRDS!Get involved in what interests your kids.
- Check your footprint (and your kids’ footprints)regularly.Add positively to your family’s digital footprint.
- Because…
