On Thursday, May 16, "Don't Press Send" Founder and President Katie Duffy Schumaker will be offering a parent/guardian workshop at 6:30 p.m. @ Monroe-Woodbury High School. This adult-only event is designed to help families "find technology’s place by promoting mindful living, and kind and careful online communication." She does this by providing parents and guardians with strategies as they navigate this ever-changing technological world, by addressing the importance of digital well-being.
Katie is a New York State certified teacher who founded Don’t Press Send in her hometown of Rockville Centre, NY. “Mama Schu,” as she is often referred, saw the pressing need and acted on behalf of today’s children to create a kinder and safer online community. Katie is dedicated to helping today’s children, adolescents, and adults embrace the benefits of technology while avoiding its pitfalls.
Through the development of the Don’t Press Send app, and nationwide workshops for schools, community organizations and civic leaders, Katie has been at the helm of Don’t Press Send’s growth from a grassroots mission to an international campaign. She is also the author of the book, Don’t Press Send: A Mindful Approach to Social Media, an Education in Cyber Civics. Katie has showcased her campaign on various media platforms, including a Ted Talk, television interviews and magazine articles.
