PTA Connected

National PTA’s PTA Connected initiative connects families with tools, research, and support to help them navigate the digital world and have proactive, open, and ongoing conversations with their children to help keep them safe online and build good digital habits. National PTA has been a partner to parents on digital parenting topics for over 5 years, exploring in-depth the issues that are on the minds of today’s families, and connecting parents with tools, research, and support to make the best decisions for their children.

Program and grant opportunities offered through PTA Connected include: Be Internet Awesome, The Smart Talk, and Ready Tech Go!

National PTA has selected Betty Gibbins of Maple Valley to serve as a state champion for the association’s PTA Connected initiative. As a state champion, Betty will educate other PTA leaders about the program and empower families in the state with resources and tools to help them interact safely in the digital space. Parents and educators alike can make a huge impact on children’s digital safety and healthy navigation of technology, and Betty’s role is to support those efforts.
