Abington Heights Middle School seventh- and eighth-graders attended a recent talk entitled “Cyber-Smarts,” featuring Katie Koestner, a national expert on student safety and teen-relationship culture.
She has appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine as well as “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “NBC Nightly News,” “Larry King Live,” “Good Morning America” and other national television programs. She is the subject of an HBO movie and has lectured at more than 1,500 schools in North America.  
Her audiences have included the incoming classes at M.I.T., West Point, U. S. Naval Academy, Brown University, Amherst College, and many other top universities. Her testimony on Capitol Hill was instrumental in the passage of federal student-safety legislation. Koestner spoke to the middle-school student about cyber dangers and other technology concerns.
