Meet Lynette Owens – a pro-technology parent, online-safety advocate, and blogger.
Lynette’s blog Internet Safety for Kids and Families focuses on raising awareness and educating people about the safe and responsible use of the Internet
Lynette was instrumental in launching the What’s Your Story? - international video contest to promote digital citizenship and online media literacy
What's Your Story? User-generated videos about what's safe and smart.
If you’re a kid, you probably spend a lot of time socializing online - but unfortunately that comes with certain risks. By becoming aware of these risks, you’ll be better able to make safe, responsible decisions.
See the creative, and often funny, ways these videos present some important information.
