Saltsburg Middle/High School "Missing" Program

"My thanks for providing our middle school with the opportunity
to take part in the "Missing" simulation game. I had the
opportunity to speak with several of the students and their
responses indicate that it was not only fun but that they learned
something as well. Your time and effort in putting this together
is much appreciated by our learning community . Without you,
it would not have been possible. In addition, it gives me peace of
mind that they left for the summer with a better knowledge that
the Internet can be a dangerous if they are not careful."

Redbank Valley School District Act 48 Seminar

" This program was straight forward, and interesting and was
packed with information we can use immediately. For me
personally, I was interested as a former elementary and high
school principal in how to protect young people from the dangers
of the Internet. This program, “Inspect Your Gadgets”, was all I
needed to get started. I wish I was still principal, because if I
was, I would be immediately taking steps to develop measures
in the curriculum to address Internet safety concerns. The
content of your program should be a must hear for all."

“As a school counselor it was extremely helpful to listen to your
presentation. There are a lot of situations coming to my office
regarding students and the Internet. I think it is imperative that
educators and parents hear the information that you presented.”
Alana Heinle- Guidance Counselor, Saltsburg
Middle School

“Ray Brannon's presentation "Inspect Your Gadgets" is a must
see for all elementary age students and their parents. This
entertaining and informative multi-media presentation is
especially appropriate in an age when children may know more
about computers than their parents.
Knowledge of computers does not necessarily include knowledge
of the dangers of a cyber world. Parents - know what is out
there and begin to protect your children. Learn how to "Inspect
Your Gadgets!"”
Mr. Donald A. Davis - Principal, Saltsburg
Elementary School

“Mr. Brannon provides a standout presentation that captivates
the audience. He is a phenomenal speaker. The presentation
was informative, relevant and interesting. A high-powered
presentation packed with information that could make a
difference in the well being of your child. This program is a must
see for any parent with children in the school. The presentation
immerses you in current trends and changes in technology. Mr.
Brannon delivers a sensational program packed with solid advice
and techniques for monitoring the technology in your home.”
Ms. Tracy Richards, Teacher, Saltsburg
Middle/High School

“Mr. Brannon confirmed what every parent in the room
suspected – the kids have the upper hand when it comes to the
Internet and we need to reestablish control. Mr. Brannon
provided a parent survival handbook with practical and
understandable ways to help protect our children in this fast
changing world of technology.”
Darlene Veroni, President, Saltsburg PTA

”My eyes were opened to the need to better protect our children
on the on the Internet. Mr. Brannon leveled the playing field
with important and practical tips for every parent.”
Eron Barone, Saltsburg High School Community
Council

“After Mr. Brannon’s presentation I went home and immediately
started using his “Parent Survival Tip Sheet”. His free software
tools and advice cleared up our computer mess and made me
feel safer with my children.”
Lynn Adams, Parent
