Safe Savvy Online

Summary:
This week I speak with Liz Repking of Cyber Safety Consulting. As a parent and educator, Liz became aware of the concerns, anxiety, and lack of knowledge parents and educators feel when it comes to online safety which led her to launch Cyber Safety Consulting with the goal of educating parents, children, and educators to be safe and savvy online. We touch on a myriad of topics from what we are seeing in school to tips for the summer to avoid fights at home over screen time and how to support young people in building healthy digital habits.

Liz Repking Bio:
Liz Repking is the mother of 3 children. She has spent much of her career working as a technical consultant, developing and delivering a variety of training for clients. Many years ago, Liz became acutely aware of the dangers the Internet posed to children like her own. While parents recognize these dangers, they are uncomfortable and even intimidated by the depth and breadth of the technology their children use. Liz created Cyber Safety Consulting with the goal of educating parents, children, and school educators on the safe, savvy, and ethical use of the digital world. 

She is also the founder of the CASE program, Cyber Awareness & Safety Education, which is implemented in middle schools nationwide.
