Educational Programs Customized presentations that engage!

Katie PresentingThe key to staying safe in this technology-driven world is education for kids and adults. There is an art to education, and one component is realizing that not all audiences are wired the same. Katie began with one small program to deliver to students and adults, and has since built unique programs that address all audiences, from Kindergarten children to college students, parents and educators. Katie encourages participation throughout, which results in each presentation being completely unique and often times driven by her audiences.

While all programs are customizable and dynamic, here you can select general overviews of the presentation topics Katie covers for each type of audience.

"I admit it. I am one of the 600 million avid Facebook users. But after Katie Greer's presentation at Marblehead High School last Thursday, I also admit that I have checked and re-checked my privacy settings on Facebook." - Paige K., MHS Student, Marblehead, MA

Early Career

In February of 2005, Katie L.

Creation of KL Greer Consulting

Due to the increasing demands for technology/Internet safety education presentations, Katie formed KL Greer Consulting, specializing in web and technology education spanning grades K-12, tailoring each presentation to accommodate the developmental and emotional differences in each age group.
