SOLOS Presentations & Workshops
Here at SOLOS, we love web culture and keep up-to-date on the new trends, the hot sites and the potential risks. We pride ourselves on staying current with what’s happening online and we bring what we know to you in our exceptional presentations. Our presentations are entertaining, sometimes shocking and always educational, offering important information for anyone that wants a better understanding what youth are doing online and what it means for tweens, teens, parents and professionals. We offer tangible suggestions and safety tips to round out our presentations.
School-based Programs
Your Life OnLine
We've heard you! We have updated our programs to reflect the feedback we have received over the past year. Our new programs are designed to offer you and your school (or group) flexibility in setting, activities and audience size, while continuing to offer our engaging research-based content. To keep current and topical, the specific examples and illustrations used may change over the year; however the core messages in our youth programs remain consistent.
SOLOS core messages are:
- Everything you post online is permanent
- Everything you post online is public
- Protect your personal and private information
- Use critical thinking skills about information and people online
- Be responsible for what you post online
- Take a stand against online harassment
- Tell someone if you are being victimized
- Don’t take, or let anyone take sexual images of you
- Don’t talk about sex online

Parents and Public Presentations
Parenting in a Cyber-Age
Parenting has never been a simple job but with children and youth involved in online technologies at earlier and earlier ages, effectively parenting post-millennial children means keeping up with technology as well as all the other usual responsibilities of parenting. SOLOS parent and public presentations mirror the basic messages offered to students in "Your LIfe OnLine" in order to give parents a chance to talk with their children about online safety in their homes. These presentations offer information about online basics, examples of positive technology use and tips for parenting wired kids. SOLOS offers dynamic, current and practical resources that accompany each presentation.
