"As a teacher and a parent, I find IROC’s information to be essential. What IROC’2 had to say was clearly eye opening and jaw dropping to our middle schoolers.

Thank you for an awesome seminar!"
"The seminar was great! This was extremely valuable information that is an educational eye opener to both students and adults.

I am a senior at Albright College and had the pleasure of sitting in on the presentation given by Richard Guerry last evening. As an upcoming graduate and soon to be teacher, I found his information useful and insightful and will definitely keep what he had to say in mind for my future endeavors. He did an excellent job and is very personable when he speaks. I wasn't bored like I usually am at the, what we call, "experience events". Thank you for taking the time to speak to inquiring minds and I truly appreciate your time.
"The great value of the IROC2 program is not merely that the audience is reminded of the perils of our ever-more connected cyber world, but that the audience is shown how to avoid these dangers simply and effectively through the course of an engaging and entertaining presentation."
“The IROC2 presentation was both informative and entertaining! I found the information obtained to be extremely valuable for anyone using modern technology, and was presented in a way that was easily related to by people of all ages and backgrounds.”
"I attended a presentation that was given by Richard at the Ohio State University - Lima Campus and thought the information was very pertinent to today's youth and I enjoyed the presentation."
"Richard Guerry is a dynamic speaker! Richard opened my eyes to the importance of having a public and permanent mindset when using the internet. Knowledge is power, therefore I will take the initiative to empower other individuals with what I've learned about internet safety. I hope Richard will return to Rutgers to spread his message. All college kids should be aware of what can happen with the information they put on the internet. IROC2 is awesome!!"
"Richard Guerry is such a personable speaker. He was able to foster a trusting rapport with an audience of college students through vital information that could affect the rest of their lives. All of my residents left the seminar with a new idea or information that could protect them not only through their college career but for the rest of their lives!"
"I just attended your presentation at St. Therese. I am a mother of 4. Your presentation was obvious and brilliant at the same time. What a needed shift in perception! Thank you for putting into logical and concrete words something that is overwhelming. I now feel like I have a safe starting point to approach navigating the World Wide Web and teaching my children how to use it."
“Tonight was very, very powerful and informative. Both kids thanked me for taking them…after complaining beforehand that they already knew all that stuff. Thanks IROC2.”
“My husband went with the girls. My oldest daughter was really impacted…just what I had hoped for.”
“Great event last night! I think that Richard did a nice job getting through to the kids…I know he got through to mine.”
“What a learning experience, thank you…my son really enjoyed meeting Richard and I am sure that he made a lasting impression on many kids and adults. It was an important night for us all.”
"I want to again thank Verizon for this wonderful opportunity for our youth and to Richard and IROC2 for such a powerful presentation. Working for the state, I consider myself to be pretty conscientious about my digital world, but that presentation even gave ME a lot to think about!"
"We would like to offer our heartfelt appreciation for your participation in our annual "It Gets Better...But Why Wait?" event.

You made this a very successful and enlightening evening, inspiring our peers with your expertise and passion. Thank you for volunteering your time and helping us to create and maintain a positive school climate her at RHS!"
“By helping to show the world how tweens and teens can safely and responsibly use mobile and online technologies, Rich is empowering parents at a time when tech literacy is crucial to parenting and key to the safety of families everywhere. As both, parent and online safety advocate, I've had the privilege of working with and learning from Rich Guerry's impressive knowledge and expertise in founding IROC2.”
Email Received June 28, 2009 (The following quote is permitted without any link to personal information) “ “Your information and insight into this issue has helped us move forward on conversations with our child about her digital responsibility and we feel it is our desire to help get your word out any way we can. Your focus and knowledge are both impressive. I can read your passion on this issue and it is inspiring. Most internet users and parents are in the dark with respect to these issues, with all the information the net has to offer it is unbelievable that these areas of privacy/law/rights and child safety are not widely understood. The devices may be intuitive but the risks are not.”
"THANK YOU for your AMAZING, EXCEPTIONAL webinar. You have provided EXACTLY the information and jumping off point we needed as a high school and as a Catholic Diocese to get our "Social Media" policy crafted, implemented, and infused into our curriculum. Everyone who watched was energized and we are already mobilizing to incorporate your lessons into our PreK-12 school community. You have said, very concisely, what we have been thinking for quite some time. I think I can speak for the rest of our staff that viewed your webinar when I say we sincerely appreciate you sharing your incredible talent and knowledge. God has blessed us through you."
"I wanted you to know that our students and faculty were completely wowed by your presentation yesterday, and I that continue to receive amazingly positive feedback from the well attended parents who attended the evening program. For our students, you managed to reassure them that they are capable and certainly mature enough to use technology while educating them as to the dangers that can ensue if they are not in the mindset of "public and permanent"... You succeeded in letting them take ownership by putting the onus on them to use their digital tools responsibly... They really and truly got that! What an inspiration you are! Your energy, sense of humor, relatablity to youth, your knowledge of the latest trends and web sites they use made them really feel a connection with you. You could have heard a pin drop among the entire student body and faculty in your audience yesterday, and that is an accomplishment in itself!! You had them riveted. They were skeptical going in, thinking that this would be "another lecture about the dangers of the internet", and wow did you surprise and enlighten them. Your message is a mindset that can be applied to many other areas of their lives and we are so fortunate to have had you help them to see how amazing they are and how amazing they can be. THANK YOU!!!"
“Rich is a leader and a visionary in the cell-phone and Internet safety space. He tackles the tough issues...including "sexting," a phenomenon that is impacting an increasing number of students throughout the world. Rich founded the IROC2 and he innovated a novel approach of reaching youths so that they stop - listen - and change their behavior. Digital Responsibility is a term Rich coined and as technology evolves...the consequences of not being responsible are becoming increasingly impactful to our youths’ lives and careers. Rich is a man with a mission and he is touching the lives of an increasing number of youths. Rich is making a difference - please contact me if you have any questions about the increasingly important role Rich is playing in making the Internet safe for us all.”
“Richard is very instrumental in educating children about 21st Century Responsibility. His response time and attention to detail on the issues facing children and their interactions with technology are crucial. His passion for his work and subject matter abound. Rich is articulate in communicating the responsibility message to our young in an extraordinary way. I am honored to be on iroc2’s advisory board and pleased he chose me. I commend him on the efforts of his work and know he will continue to make a valuable contribution in the lives of our children.”
"Rich's message that all items posted digitally on the internet [or taken on your cell phone or camera] are "public and permanent." [What a concept!] His presentation was very engaging. His ability to convey a very important and strong message was well done. It's important that everyone owning a camera, cell phone and computer are aware of the dangers of using and passing along digital information. After the presentation, I sent a very large email to my friends and family about the dangers of certain behaviors as they relate to the digital age. I told them to visit iroc2.com and urged them to take the digital risk spike assessment. More folks need to know about this and I hope the word spreads, fast. In fact, this presentation needs to go "viral" to inform everyone about use [and misuse] of electronic or digital media. I was blown away. Thanks Rich & IROC2!" |
