This message is intended for educators and church leaders. If that isn't you, my apologies. Please reply so we can correct our lists. Thank you!

#1: Remind Parents of Their Tech Responsibilities

Back-to-school events are often well-attended. This makes them the perfect time to remind parents of their technology responsibilities at home. Here's how Protect Young Eyes can help.

Would you like to show them a video like this sample clip? It will be ready on Tuesday, Aug. 4!

If you would like one for public schools, click here.

#2: Share My Debut Book With Your Families

"Chris, I want to get this into the hands of every family in the Diocese!" - Michael, Catholic Schools Superintendent

My debut book, 5 Habits of the Tech-Ready Family, was published on June 16. Schools and churches can bulk order anytime! Use it as a parent resource. Here are real examples of how organizations are leveraging it:

  • A charter school bought 80 copies for its teachers.
  • A church bought 750 copies for its families.
  • An independent school organization is buying 200 copies for its principals.

Reply with questions!

Ready to partner with you!
