"Too many of our school aged
children and their parents
are unprepared for the responsibility
that comes with the power of technology.
With The Digital Citizenship Project
and The Tech Smart Program,
Dr. Eli Shapiro has created what
should be required learning for
parents, children, educators
and mental health professionals.
I encourage school districts,
social service agencies and communities alike
to take advantage of this wonderful program.”

"The Digital Citizenship Project and the
Tech Smart program present parents and
children with a practical set of tools and
strategies that proactively provide the
knowledge and skills to engage in healthy
and responsible digital behavior.
This is the program
that we have been waiting for!”

-David Pelcovitz, Ph.D.

"We need to teach our children
to safely navigate the
digital world in which they live.
Increasingly, our schools are dealing
with the consequences of children
ill prepared for the challenges
of technology and social media.
The Digital Citizenship Project’s
curricular materials help school leaders
provide their students with
the essential skills for survival
in today’s digital world.”

-Richard Altabe, Ed.M.
Princial, Hebrew Academy of Long Beach

"Digital tools touch our lives more
and more every day.
While it is imperative for students
to become skilled users of technology,
this presents huge challenges for
teachers and parents who
didn’t grow up utilizing these tools.
The Digital Citizenship Project is
an invaluable resource and support
which can help us to understand
and use strategies for teaching our
children to be the best Digital Citizens.”

-Dr. Linda Reider Mancz
Supervisor

"The Digital Citizenship Project and the
Tech Smart program provide
not only population specific statistics,
but sound guidance for parents and educators
navigating children in a 24/7 media world.
In doing so, the program has empowered
schools to partner with their parent
community and engage students in productive
and safe dialogue about digital citizenship.”
