As a parent do you ever wonder how you can possibly keep up with all the new technologies your children take for granted? This new generation views this digital culture as a normal way of life, even though as a parent you may feel confused and overwhelmed. As teachers and parents we want our children to enjoy all the benefits a technological society has to offer, but at the same time we want them to stay safe and act responsible. In the four part workshop we will take you inside the ever-changing world of social media and the Internet, get hands on and try and make sense of it all. The aim of this series is to equip you with a deeper understanding of this new world to help you raise an ethical and informed digital citizen.
