Raising Kids in a 24/7 Digital Media World: The Role of Faith Groups

Youth today live in a 24/7 media world that is evolving at a dizzying 
pace. Young people's media experiences, especially their 
participation on social networking sites and virtual worlds have an 
enormous impact on the way the way they make decisions, learn, and socialize.

This interactive, multi-media presentation will include an overview 
of what young people are really doing with media as well as the 
challenges and opportunities kids' media use pose for parents and 
faith communities.

Practical tactics and strategies will also be offered on how faith

safe, smart, and responsible media consumers and creators.
