Heitner returns to GPS to discuss her most recent book, "Growing Up Public." Her presentation will guide adults in helping young people develop healthy boundaries and safeguard privacy. She will offer tips that encourage young people to generate content that is constructive and sensitive to the feelings of others.

Heitner is a media technology specialist. Her first book, "Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in their Digital World," was written for parents and educators seeking advice on how to help children flourish in a world of constant connectedness.
