Discernment can't be downloaded.
But it can be taught - with heart, wisdom, and the right tools.
In a world full of screens, algorithms, and endless information, your child’s greatest strength isn’t the latest app—
it’s the ability to think critically, act ethically, and stay safe online.
Hi, I’m Dr. Beverly Pell, and for over 25 years, I’ve been on a journey with students, parents, and teachers through classrooms, at kitchen tables, and now… in homes with screens. I’ve taught in public schools, private schools, and homeschooled my own children. I’ve watched technology shift the ground beneath our feet—quietly changing how our kids think, speak, connect, and grow.
What hasn’t changed? Kids still long to belong. They still need boundaries, guidance, and wise adults who care enough to lead. I’ve made it my life’s work to be that wise adult and help other courageous educators and parents do the same.
As the Education Specialist at Cyber Civics, I get to blend my academic background and lived experience into something that helps families flourish in today’s digital world. This is more than a job. It’s my calling.
