The Smart Talk
The Smart Talk is a free tool to help families set digital safety ground rules together, helping children and families feel safer and more empowered in their digital lives. The Smart Talk, co-created by the National PTA and Norton, is a self-paced online tool for helping families have those important conversations about digital safety. Start talking today: https://thesmarttalk.org. Once your family has completed The Smart Talk, take a picture of the certificate of completion and email it to [email protected] for your student to receive a gift from the PTA!
