The speed of digital media is changing fast! Artificial Intelligence can now create incredibly realistic videos and audio (known as "deepfakes"). This makes teaching our children to think critically about everything they see and hear online more important than ever.

For amazing, trusted resources to help guide these conversations with your child, check out the free guides and articles available from Common Sense Media.

Let's partner to raise digitally savvy and safe students!
