Family Tech Tips

• Check out Common Sense Media’s guide to the top podcasts for kids and families to help engage the family in a screen-free way!

• Traveling this summer? Be smart with your technology!

1. Watch what you’re posting! Avoid posting specific info on where you’re going and when.

2. Avoid using public connections (i.e. your airport’s free wifi!) to do your online banking, log into important accounts, or access personal information.

3. Be wary of public charging stations - it’s easy for hackers to tamper with them and swipe data from every device that plugs into them.

4. Double-check your location settings - many apps automatically tag your location so even if you’re smart about what you post, the tracking on some apps will share that information anyway!
