Debrief: Family Tech Talk Night

Dear Cooper Families,


We hope you found the information shared during Family Tech Talk Night on 11/17 useful and helpful as parents of elementary, middle, high school, or even college aged children. Perhaps you also learned some useful tips to implement yourself! I know I learned some things that I wasn't aware of, especially in the second half of the session. It was also interesting to be a part of an audience that was participating from all across the country, indicating that this topic is relevant and important to individuals.


In case you were unable to attend, or missed part of the presentation, the Family Tech Talk that we attended was recorded and can be viewed at:
