I was fortunate enough to hear Ben Halpert of Savvy Cyber Kids speak at an Atlanta Speech School event. His expertise helped open my eyes to habits that I should be instilling (or not instilling) in my children and for my family! He captivated the entire room. Highly recommend!

It is essential that educators are aware of the opportunities and risks within the digital arenas—where our students venture for school work and for their own purposes. Educators need to engage in dialogue about how to instruct students to seize the opportunities while minimizing the risk. Savvy Cyber Kids empowers digitally safe learning.

We were extremely pleased with the Savvy Cyber Kids program. Ben engaged the students in fun and informative assemblies. Our student assemblies were followed by a parent-only event which was both eye-opening and very necessary. Many fellow parents later thanked the PTA for bringing Ben to our school, and we all will benefit from the new insight into how best to help our children navigate their new online lives.
—Gail Price, VP of Operations & Student Support, Inman Middle School PTA

Your presentation was incredibly informative and terribly sobering, even for me who thinks he’s pretty technologically aware. Both of my children were very ready to talk about your presentations and you got two thumbs up. I had the longest one-on-one talk with my 13-year-old daughter that I have had in a long time. It was very positive. Please keep up your good work; I was really inspired by what you are doing.
