A lot of people who could benefit from this session are not people already online, so while we appreciate people Tweeting and sharing this on Facebook, we need to take an extra step to reach people who don’t already use those two sites.  We need to use some good, old-fashioned email.

Twittering? Friends, followers, fans? HELP! I don’t understand what my child is doing on the Internet!

Raising Arizona Kids magazine is partnering with Social Media Club Phoenix to provide parents with information to ensure their children are safe online. Our panelists will break down the popular social networking tools so parents can understand each tools use, and how each can be used safely. Additionally, the panelists will share their experiences raising tech-savvy children and the boundaries they have set within their own families.

The panel is free, and will be held at the Madcap Theaters in Tempe, on Thursday, April 22nd, at 6pm.  You can get more information, including parking details, at http://smcphoenix.com/parents

If you know someone else who might be interested, please forward this email to them!

Thank you!
