Greenbush hired Josh to train 2,700 students in local districts on social media safety. Josh kept all of our Teens and Tweens engaged and showed them clear examples they can use to impress colleges and employers on social media. In addition to using Instagram, Twitter and Facebook as a portfolio, Josh gave students pointers that helped to keep their information private. Everyone left with a clear road map that they can use for the next few months to make sure they shine online. We look forward to having Josh back in the future to visit our students again.

A letter to parents from the Principal:

Hello PVIS Community,
Today all students had the privilege to attend an assembly with speaker Josh Ochs whose message focused on digital citizenship and how it can affect their future. Josh’s message was simple yet very powerful and he followed up with real life situations that have occurred to individuals that weren’t very pleasant.
I know that sometimes assemblies are not taken seriously by kids, but I think this one hit home for quite a few. I think that because as I returned to the office between presentations I witnessed our three office monitors on their phones googling themselves which was one of the topics discussed by Josh.
Please follow up with your kids tonight. I think it will be a good discussion.

Josh, Thank you so much for spending the past two days with the Blue Valley High School Tiger community. You have really helped open the eyes of so many as to how there is a good and safe way to navigate and survive the digital world of social media. Our kids were relieved to have someone tell them, "hey, it's great to use it (social media) and you can brand yourself in a positive way for future college, career and volunteer endeavors." Rather than "it's bad, stay away from it, etc..." You enlightened many students and adults to things we had never considered on the topic of safety.
This is one great proactive way we can combat cyber bullying; showing kids how to do it right and explaining how doing it "the other way" can having lasting impact beyond getting in trouble with your parents or school.
