Institute for Responsible Online & Cell-Phone Communication
Every time we “power up” our digital devices we are faced with the risk of viruses, fraud, spyware, cyber bullying, theft, and of course, “Sexting”. Fortunately there is an (some say heroic) organization dedicated to proactively reducing our risk of experiencing the devastating consequences that occur from the aforementioned irresponsibility and villainy.
Who are these crusaders?
They are known as the Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Responsibility, a.k.a I.R.O.C.2 (That’s “I ROCK”…the 2 is silent).
There are many worthy and invaluable organizations that offer the public intelligent and necessary tips and safety information about important and relevant issues that affect us online, so what makes I.R.O.C.2 so different?
It is their unique and innovative approach!
The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Communication utilizes a more interactive, straight forward and unique approach when communicating their message to society, showing us how to proactively avoid trouble through their concept of Digital Responsibility!
The Institute is summoned by a wide variety of public and private institutions from educational facilities to corporations to communicate the consequences of poor online judgment to their audiences through their unique blend of technological and psychological expertise.
Here is a testimonial from an educator at a NJ Middle School that attended a recent seminar for their school students,
"As a teacher and a parent, I find IROC’s information to be essential. What IROC’s, Richard Guerry, had to say was clearly eye opening and jaw dropping to our middle schoolers. We are teaching and parenting a generation that is hard-wired completely differently than us. This is necessary information for all children and adults to learn to use technology wisely and safely. Thank you for an awesome seminar!"
Here is another testimonial from a parent who was also present at an I.R.O.C.2 seminar,
"I was blown away when I heard Richard Guerry's "Sexting Is Stupid" Presentation this past March. I am familiar with this issue and the dangers of this digital age, but even I was amazed at some of the stories, lessons, and information in the presentation. Richard is a powerful speaker, and the presentation is influential. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone that uses the internet or owns a cell phone."
Their seminars not only provide an effective new way of thinking when using digital technologies, but illustrate why it is necessary to employ their concept of "Digital Responsibility"
Think about it...
Despite all of the information and media available to us about internet safety (especially "sexting" these past few weeks) how many of us, especially tweens, teens, and young adults are really seeking out this information for ourselves?
If you use the internet , cell phone, or any digital technology, it is strongly recommended you visit this innovative and acclaimed organization’
