Developing Digital Safety, Empathy, and Mindfulness
Friday, November 8, 2024 | 9:00am

Apps like TikTok continue to grow; Deep Fakes are becoming a more common issue, AI is being deployed on a larger scale, Communication in online gaming is growing more frequent for children at younger ages, and; Wearable tech like Snapchat Specs & Meta Smart Glasses will continue to evolve, thus the need for responsibility, as well as empathy and kindness has become even more paramount.
 
This keynote will provide attendees with information & tips to create responsible decision making with today’s - and tomorrow’s - technology and understand how to replace blind decision making with informed decision making. The information provided will assist attendees in helping youth, and other adults, not just understand how to survive - but how to thrive - with continuously evolving digital tools and technologies.
 
This is a high-energy and multi-award-winning presentation that will keep the audience engaged and will help them leave with tangible thoughts, ideas and tools, HOWEVER, it will be delivered and received in such a manner that the attendee does not have to be a tech expert to bring the program material to their home and community.
