It&#8217;s delivered in a group with others to help build your support network and understand the impacts of online harms from your own peers. All of the content (6+ hours) is visual and demands attention. Learning about online safety for your child is not something to do periodically or in spurts while you&#8217;re doing 10 other things. If you want to get serious about protecting your child online, you will need to set aside time and dedicate energy to learning about it. <br \/><b><br \/><\/b><\/div><div><p><b>Is there homework?<\/b> Absolutely! Each week after you complete the course, you will be sent a PDF document which will contain lessons from that week. There may be things to study or activities to do with your child throughout the week until the next class.<\/p><\/div><div><b>Why do I have to pay? <\/b>Nothing. It&#8217;s now free. Donations are encouraged.\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><p><b>What will I learn?<\/b> Each week there will be a variety of subjects covered but an overarching theme. Week 1 the theme is: &#8220;Social media literacy&#8221;\u00a0 &#8211; Week 2&#8217;s theme is &#8220;The effect of media on the body&#8221; etc It will all end with playing a fun interactive game show: &#8220;Your child is in Jeopardy&#8221; which will test what you&#8217;ve learned throughout the workshop.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><p><b>Will I be able to communicate with other parents afterwards? <\/b>If you wish! We will have a message board for you to send messages to other parents who are taking the course in the future after you, but the relationships that you develop during the course are going to be so integral to creating a powerful support network around you to help with your journey of parenting kids that are online.\u00a0<\/p><div><p><b>Why is there homework?<\/b> At the end of each week if you are attending, you will receive a workbook from that week&#8217;s topics and it will contain fun or educational activities for you to reinforce the lessons that you&#8217;re learning in the course.<\/p><\/div><div><b>Do I need to have a child to attend?<\/b> This course is aimed at parents who have children. Perhaps you might be expecting your first child and this will be a good opportunity to start looking at educating yourself well before they are on the Internet. While we cannot prevent someone from attending we can enforce participation in the group during each session.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><b>How is the course presented?<\/b> The course will have a presenter live with a group of parents on Zoom. There is a rich multimedia experience throughout each class. After each class, you&#8217;ll be given a PDF document for that week&#8217;s workbook.<\/div><div><p><b>How do I sign up?<\/b> Click on the red button above that says &#8220;Sign up here&#8221; after that (or before) &#8211; click below where it says &#8220;Donate&#8221; and then make a donation. After both the sign up form and the donation are completed, you will be contacted by someone on our team to try and schedule you into the next available cohort. If a workshop just started, the earliest cohort you&#8217;ll join will be about 6-8 weeks into the future and we will let you know.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><p><b>How much do I have to donate?<\/b>\u00a0You do <b>NOT<\/b> need to donate anything. The course is FREE.\u00a0 If people donate, they typically donate $20-30. You can also be eligible to obtain a $40 CAD award for perfect attendance and a great score in the course.
