Are you planning to talk to parents and carers about the Internet?

A crucial part of the development of Digital Parents has sprung from being invited to talk to parents about what children are doing on the internet. We have delivered ‘seminars’ for parents (predominantly in schools) to help explain some of the high level issues surrounding social networking and other internet related issues. These sessions have proved invaluable in establishing that parents are really keen to find out more about what their kids are doing on the internet and have also provided the opportunity for parents to share their experiences in a 'safe' environment with other parents facing similar issues.

Convergence

Much is made of the converging technologies and how to young ‘digital natives’ there is no differecne between the online and offline. This is not the case for their parents. While it is easy to hand out list of sites to visit, provide online information, or even DVDs the problem is that many parents want to speak to a real person.

Help your self

On this page you will find many of the materials that we have used to invite, talk to and get feedback from, parents. We don't for a moment think that they cannot be improved upon, infact if you have dome a better job, why not add it to the page for others to use?

If you find these resources helpful, why not set up a group for your school or organisation and invite your audience to participate?
