Need help managing your kids’ (and your own) digital relationships?

• How should we deal with issues that arise from a whole range of cyber activities?
• What ARE the issues, anyway?
• What does the research show about the media environment surrounding social networking, gaming, and kids?
• How can local and national media literacy education efforts help us deal with these issues?

See the event page at PSP for more info and to RSVP.
