“Dr. Strohman knows a lot about technology and social media. I didn’t know information put on social media was permanent and public. Dr. Strohman helped me understand that social media can be good and bad. I need to always be careful about what I put online.”
– Eighth Grade Student, Sonoran Trails Middle School
“Dr. Strohman clarified the effects of too much screen time. Her slides on brain development and the hours spent in front of a screen playing games, using social media have changed my mind about how much time I will spend online each day.”
– Ninth Grade Student, Boulder Creek High School
“Rules are hard to follow sometimes but rules around devices are helpful. I don’t have a contract with my parents and can pretty much do anything online. Not good.”
– Eight Grade Student, Sonoran Trails Middle School
“Social media can be good and bad. I need to be careful about what I put online.”
– Seventh Grade Student, Sonoran Trails Middle School

“There are times when I don’t know what to say or how to help my children navigate technology, especially social media and video apps. After listening to your talk, I have so many ideas for how to help my children.”
– Middle School Parent
“I thought I was keeping up with my kids but, clearly, there is so much I was not aware of and didn’t know about keeping my kids safe online.” After listening to Dr. Strohman, I realize I have overshared information about my own children. Not happening again!”
– Elementary School Parent
“Dr. Strohman is so knowledgeable about how technology is affecting our kids. We need her and the Digital Citizen Academy Program in our school.”
– Elementary School Teacher, Cave Creek Unified School District
“Schools have changed, children have changed, with the overwhelming influence of social media. Too often, students base their reputations on ‘likes’ rather than who they are.”
– Elementary School Teacher, Cave Creek Unified School District
“Teachers have enough to do throughout each day just keeping kids on track with their learning. A cell phone parking lot is a great idea for somewhere kids can “park” their device for several minutes and pay attention to content in class.”
– Middle School Teacher, Sonoran Trails Middle School
“Since Dr. Strohman spoke to us, we are hearing more conversations between teacher and administrators, on campus, about the need for more emphasis on digital reputation and digital footprint.”

– Elementary School Technology Specialist
“Digi is cool. He makes good and bad choices just like students do. The Teacher Resource Guide helps teachers follow along with the videos, introduce key words, and follow up with relevant activities. Lessons are engaging and fun!”
