Creating Digital Citizens with Safely

September 28, 2011

As a parent of four, and a social media consultant I’m concerned about my kids learning to be good digital citizens.

Editing, and changing happens frequently which I love. I still remember getting the Sears catalog as a child and circling-oh just [...]

How to spot and approach a social media person

July 27, 2010

I was struggling last night with all the things I either need to, or want to do. Or maybe it was the things I want to do, but also need to do? Anyway… Instead of doing anything productive I was on twitter. I meet a lot of people who either tool their eyes or stare [...]
