Promotional "Headline"

Today's youth have access to more technology and information than any previous generation. Children and teenagers need age-appropriate guidance to help them navigate the internet, online communication, digital communication, and more. Ideally, that guidance comes from knowledgeable parents and teachers but not every adult knows what guidance to offer. In some case, teachers are tech savvy and can teach curriculums filled with digital media, data technology, and online communities. Similarly, some parents are digitally savvy and can offer guidance to help their child live a rich and rewarding digital life. However, there are many parents and teachers who have limited or incomplete knowledge to pass along.
