National Digital Literacy Tour Heads to Lenoir

Google is a leader in our approach to provide our users with a safe online experience. So much so that we're taking the show on the road!

Google, partnering with the iKeepSafe Internet Safety Coalition, will host two free workshops on May 12 at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center as part of the Digital Literacy Tour.

The first event for teachers will be held in the afternoon.

The evening event, set from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m, is targeted toward parents and their children. These events will provide families with information and best practices for being safe online.

iKeepSafe representatives will provide insight and useful tips on how attendees can easily implement an Internet safety program in their homes.

Google Operations Manager and Lenoir resident Enoch Moeller and iKeepSafe President Marsali Hancock will lead the presentations. The invitation includes all of the details and please RSVP to digital-literacy-tour@google.com.

Please feel free to share the invite with any of your friends and family.

We look forward to seeing you!
