The world’s current obsession with kids and technology is understandably rooted in the fear of the unknown and is further fueled by the media’s sensationalization of “kids gone wild” stories that are true but rarely happen.

Yes, bad things do happen online, I am not trivializing this fact by any stretch. But sometimes, most of the time, good stuff happens, too.

That’s why we are happy to announce that our 3rd annual ‘What’s Your Story?’ video contest is now open for entries. For a third time, we want to hear what young people have to say about issues related to their safety and responsibility online. For another year, we will award the best entry with $10,000 and runner-up prizes to the best individual and school entries. If the last two years serves as any predictor of the third, we believe young people have a lot to say on these matters and they want and need to be heard.
