In
this presentation, Karen Evans, will share her knowledge of the potential risks
and dangers our youth are facing today because of social media and technology,
including what is referred to as “sexting.” A term used to describe the
transmission of nude and semi-nude photos via cell phone. As a result of the
ever changing world of technology, several unintended consequences have
impacted students, schools, and the community. Youth and adults are
often unaware of the possible consequences if technology is used
inappropriately. Through a power point presentation that includes videos,
case examples and statistics, attendees will have a clear understanding of the trends
in social media and the seriousness of these issues.
Karen is currently serving as
Restorative Justice Agent in Wright County Court Services. She is a trained
mediator, facilitates victim offender and community conferences, and played an
integral role in developing a diversion/conference procedure for juvenile
sexting cases. Karen is also actively involved in public speaking. Karen has
designed and facilitated presentations on Teens and Technology, Cyber bullying,
and Sexting. She has been invited to speak at schools, for both students and
parents, and at professional organization workshops.
