Josh Ochs Visits Mentor
Josh Ochs visited Memorial and Shore Middle Schools and spoke to the students about the role technology plays in their lives. His message was one of positivity and he gave students practical ways that they can shine online. He encouraged students to Google themselves and see what images and information comes up. He shared how colleges and future employers will be doing this same thing and now is the time for the students to take charge of what they want others to see about themselves. Watch Josh's full presentation here .
Josh also spoke to about 75 parents from the district at an evening workshop. He shared with the parents the same message he reviewed with the students earlier that day. Again his focus was on how the students can take steps to shine online. He also discussed many apps that kids are using and explained a rating system that he and his colleagues use to rate these apps. You can find the rating system and the full list of apps on his Popular App List for Parents and Teachers .
