Social Media Senate Hearing | Dont Press Send Main

“Having known Katie for many years I continue to be struck by the relevance and importance of the issues she tackles and the practical, hands-on clarity with which she delivers her program. Her expertise is broad and her approach warm and collaborative, empowering educators, parents and students alike; effectively breaking down some of the hardest pieces of life to talk about as it pertains to technology and social media and how children and teens are interacting with the world around them. In so doing she not only highlights the scale of these threats and their impact on our children, but also offers meaningful support and concrete mitigation strategies to offset some of the fear and confusion that parents and institutions face as they tackle this fickle and amorphous platform. I often recommend her campaign to colleagues and friends and indeed continue to refer to her books and approach as I parent my own children”

“The Don’t Press Send presentation was eye-opening and a conversation starter for students, parents and the community at large. Katie did a great job tailoring the presentation toward the specific group she was presenting to.”

“We can’t say enough – kids need to know what the ramifications are and just as important, how to consider others’ feelings. What you write can be misconstrued and/or hurtful. Just Don’t Press Send. Take a minute and think before you click. The presentation at SSMS was fabulous and the students gained so much knowledge and wisdom.”

“Katie, thanks again for a great presentation. Everyone really liked the message. The students and faculty have not stopped talking about it.”

“Hi Katie! Thank you for visiting Bayville Intermediate today! Your presentation was terrific! This was a great way to be proactive about teaching children appropriate ways to use technology and the dangers of using it in hurtful ways. I’ll be sharing this information with my colleagues.”

“I had my students reflect and write about what they learned from the workshop. I cannot thank you enough! Their writing is filled with the powerful message that you were trying to convey. I am so thankful for your visit!”

“Our entire school district was in support of bringing the Don't Press Send message to our school community this fall. We were able to organize a two-day event with Katie providing 5 separate and tailored presentations to all grade levels K through 12th, as well as parents on Open House night. Teachers joined in watching the presentations with their classes, and learned the guidelines, strategies and empathic communication and mindfulness skills that they can continue to reinforce with their classes. Parents who attended the presentation said it was eye-opening and they felt the pledge would be a great communication tool to discuss rules and safety with their children. We were so pleased with the entire program, and hope that the positive message will reverberate through our students and school community for the rest of the school year and beyond.”
