Internet Safety for Kids: On October 13th, OIS and Wharton are hosting a must-attend event for anyone interested in understanding the full context and impact of technology on the social, emotional and academic lives of children and teens. Erica Pelavin is a psychologist, educator, and the co-founder of Palo Alto-based MyDigitalTAT2. Erica’s lecture is an eye-opening look at the constantly-changing number of applications and platforms currently used by teens. Her organization, MyDigitalTAT2, emphasizes the need to understand how and why teens use technology and encourage parents and educators to hold an ongoing dialogue with kids on safe usage. Joining Erica for a panel discussion after the lecture are three Penn subject matter experts: Dr. Amy Bleakley (Annenberg School of Communication Research Scientist), Mr. Scott Schafer (University Privacy Officer), and Dr. Wiam Younes (OIS Training Officer).
