UVic Speaker’s Bureau

Through the UVic Speakers Bureau, I volunteer to speak to community groups, schools, clubs and other organizations throughout Greater Victoria and southern Vancouver Island.

The topics that I put forward this year that I think will appeal to audiences ranging from middle school to seniors are:

Technology needs to be used to create, share, tag, comment and contribute to the online world in positive ways to leave a digital footprint that you can live with.

I will  show you the elements of digital citizenship and how you can be a good digital citizen.
