Teens and Technology
-inappropriate use and consequences-
Wednesday, May 6, 2015
6:30-7:30
Maple Lake High School auditorium
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.
