Digital Power: Teaching Kids How to Make Tech Work For Them
Learn how to empower kids to take control of their online experience and build healthy tech habits. This session covers teaching kids about social media algorithms, AI’s role in their lives, and setting shared expectations that prepare them for the future.
Presented by Bark Community Partner experts Adam Brooks and Katey McPherson, both experienced educators who have worked with thousands of students, parents, and schools nationwide.
The Safety Blueprint: Core Practices to Survive Every Trend
Online trends change fast, but the foundation for digital safety can stay steady. This session gives educators a practical, repeatable framework for protecting students no matter what apps, devices, or risks come next — covering how to set clear boundaries, model positive behavior, involve parents, and engage students as active partners.
Led by Bark’s Adam Brooks, who has trained over 15,000 educators and spoken to 32,000+ students.
Phones are Banned. Now What?
Phone bans are helping with classroom focus, but new challenges are emerging: students using school devices differently and social media conflicts still affecting the school day. This session explores what school leaders are experiencing beyond the policy change and why digital citizenship education is more important than ever.
Presented by Bark’s Adam Brooks, you’ll gain strategies for managing post-ban behaviors, supporting students’ social-emotional needs, and partnering with parents to address after-hours risks.
Stronger Together: What it Means to Be a Connected Community
This session explores how schools, educators, and parents can work together to create a connected community where kids make good choices, parents are active partners, and schools lead in digital preparedness. Learn how to set clear expectations, model positive behavior, engage students through safety pledges, and keep parents informed — with real-world examples and the Connected Communities framework as your roadmap.
Led by Katey McPherson, Bark’s Community Partner Manager, who brings 25 years of experience as a teacher, counselor, and PK-12 administrator focused on student wellness and digital citizenship.
