What They're Saying...
"Listening to Dr. Hinduja speak was both engaging and informative. The topics that he addressed are highly relevant. As a high school teacher, I see the significant impact that technology has on the lives of our students. What I learned from Dr. Hinduja has provided me with a basis of information to use as I begin to work with other staff at my school to develop and implement programs to teach our students how to use technology ethically and act as responsible cyber-citizens." Shawna Sache, Teacher, Rick Hansen Secondary School, Abbotsford, B.C.
