Presentation Info Dave Eisenmann |
What people are saying about the presentations: “I just wanted to say thank you again for coming to talk about CyberSafety. My two daughters, one in 7th and the other in 8th, commented on not only your content, but how well you presented the content. Specifically, how your manner of presentation kept them interested throughout. They loved the incorporation of the texting surveys. They could tell you knew what you were talking about and that you were comfortable with the material. I too enjoyed your presentations and found them very informative.” - Mark M. “Your presentation was so well done, so needed, so well-received. I hope you felt appreciated when you left there because I know it had a big impact on the staff as well as the students. At the end of the day when my kids got home, they were able to reiterate quite precisely all the big messages you had focused on in the presentation and I couldn't help but appreciate even more the clear design and delivery of the important content you shared with them. THANK YOU for visiting and for all you do to promote those life changing and enhancing messages for kids all over the state!” - Nancy V. “Thank you for a wonderful presentation last night. I think it went well and I appreciated that you had good examples of building a positive digital footprint. It’s not something I’ve heard very often in these kinds of presentations so I’m glad to see that as a part of your overall approach.” -Adam F. Some Recent Press Coverage:
