Welcome to my blog!

Hey there!! Welcome to my blog where I'll share what's going on and updates! I'm Ebony Bagley, and I live in Novi with my husband, two kids, and our dog. My journey into advocating for internet safety and wellness began during my teaching days. Although I've transitioned into the communications field, my commitment to educating and informing the public about navigating the digital world safely remains.


Let's get real for a sec. In a world where emojis speak louder than words and TikTok dance videos reign supreme, finding balance is key. That's where I come in! Whether tackling top tech troubles or reminding fellow screen-time warriors to unplug and recharge, I'm all about maintaining balance. Alongside workshops for kids, teens, families, and organizations, I've launched the 'Senior Tech Academy' to help seniors engage with their devices safely and enjoyably.


Certified in cybersecurity and AI, I'm constantly researching and following technology trends. Through one-on-one sessions, workshops, and presentations—both virtual and in person—I aim to keep my community safe.


I schedule most workshops in the evenings (after school) and weekends. Contact me today to get on my calendar. Let's do this!

Life Happens - Back to School Season - Screen Time Reset and Almost 40?

Hey friends! It's been a minute since I've had the chance to sit down and blog. Why? Because LIFE this summer has been a whirlwind. Camps, parties, work trips and trying to keep up a social life of my own...it was a lot. And let's be honest, there's still so much I didn't get around to. To top it off, my best friend is getting married in Cartagena, Colombia, and mentally, I'm already there!!! Trying to balance travel plans, family activities, and work...whew! And then came August—what August? I blinked, and we were already back to school. On the bright side, both of my kids are at the same school this year! Kristopher started kindergarten, and Khloe is in 5th grade. New school year, new level of parenting unlocked! With back to school comes a tech reset in the Bagley household. Let me be honest: our summer was all about flex time when it came to screen time. During the day, the kids are mostly offline, working on review activities or playing indoors or outside. ...

Let’s Get Serious: Just Jokes or Inappropriate? The Challenge of Raising Kids in a Viral Era - Hot Topics & TikTok Dances

Lately, I’ve been floored by how desensitized we’ve become to things that used to shock us. Serious topics get treated like punchlines, and instead of focusing on the real issues—like the fact that we have an election coming up in less than 45 days!!! News outlets are busy discussing "freak-offs" like it’s normal conversation. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Where did the professionalism go? As someone who used to work in news, it’s wild to see how much things have changed. TV and social media feel like one big reality show now, and throw AI into the mix, and its hard to tell what’s real anymore. What really gets me is seeing parents and adults on the TikTok dancing alongside their young kids to songs full of cuss words and suggestive lyrics for likes, especially that Bossman DLow one..."SMH!" Or, watching skits and shows that used to be for "adults only" now being reproduced for content and likes by kids.  But then, we turn around and act surprised when these...

Seniors are Thriving Online - How to Help them Stay Safe

It's a new day and in addition to young people using social media platforms at a high rate, senior citizens and older adults are also increasingly finding joy and connection online. My mom, who is in her early seventies, is a perfect example of this exciting shift. She's discovering the many ways the internet can help her stay social, informed and in the know about things to do in our community and beyond. I feel like in many ways access to the internet for her and her peers has benefited their lives tremendously for the better.  Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram enable older adults to stay connected with family and friends, share life updates, and see the lives of those they care about. Whether it's video calls with grandchildren, sharing photos, or even joining group chats, these digital interactions can significantly reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness and prolong life. The internet is filled with information and entertainment, perfect for older ...
