Josh Ochs
I'm Josh Ochs, I travel the country teaching students how to shine online
My online safety books are available on Amazon and my message teaches parents and students how to use their devices with a purpose, not just a past time
I talk to students about their future, instead of telling them what to do
Instead of lecturing students on how to behave online, Josh talks to students about their future and how their digital footprint can have an impact. Josh shows students why they need to use social media with a purpose instead of a pass time. When students become ambassadors of their own digital safety they begin to make smarter choices online.
I show students the positive side of social media
The negative effects of social media on teens and tweens can be obvious for parents and educators but there are rarely discussions around the positive impact of social media. When Josh speaks at your organization, he’ll show students how social media can be used to create a positive resume of accomplishments.
Showing students and parents where their online footprint can take them in the future
