Teens, Technology, and Risk Behaviors

 Ever feel like you’re not in Kansas anymore when it comes to teens and technology? What the heck is Twitter? The fast-paced world of technology means that adults often find themselves struggling to catch up, let alone understand the significance of networking Web sites like MySpace, Facebook and others frequented by teens. This workshop will help parents and caregivers learn the basics about the online world inhabited by teens, including instant messaging, texting and social networking.

Participants will leave with a broader appreciation for the role of technology in teens’ lives today and concrete strategies for ways to teach young people “safe surfing.”

This event is Free and designed for parents, caregivers and grandparents.  Dinner is provided and pre-registration is requested.  75 seats are available for this educational event.
