Technology and social media shape the identities and worldviews of today’s teens.
CEs: 3
Adolescent sexuality and relationships are interwoven with cell phones and social media. Many caregivers and professionals are left wondering: what does it all mean? This workshop will start from the ground up, beginning with definitions and a roadmap of technology commonly used by young people. From there, we will examine how technology influences teen sexuality and relationships – for better or for worse. We will discuss teen relationship abuse and technology, as well as the way teen relationships and identity can be strengthened by technology. Finally, the class will focus on how to work with and relate to teens through the lens of technology.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Review social media platforms that are commonly used among adolescents.
Be able to describe the difference between a tech-negative and tech-positive approach to adolescent social media use.
Identify positive and problematic adolescent social media use
Learn strategies for positively engaging with youth through a tech-positive framework.
