Liberty High School hosts "Teens and Technology" Workshop on Sept. 21

Danish Computer Scientist Bjarne Stroustrup once said “There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone.”

Technology can be daunting, and if you have teenagers, keeping up can be difficult. We hope you’ll join us for a very special workshop: Teens and Technology. The event is free, open to the public and will take place on Wednesday, September 21 at Liberty High School.

Do the security settings in Facebook and other social media applications confuse you? Would you like to know more about the role of technology on your child’s education? Are you concerned that your teen might be cyber-bullied? The workshop can answer these questions and more.

Presented by Art Schouten from Orange Ulster BOCES, the workshop will highlight student use of technology as it relates to social media applications, networking with peers and the impact of technology on student learning.

Other topics to be discussed include digital privacy and security settings for social media applications, the impact and signs of cyber bullying and how technology can be used to foster learning/collaboration.

This event is sponsored by Sullivan County BOCES in collaboration with Liberty Central School District and Orange-Ulster BOCES.
