Keynote: 11/13/2009: Youth Connect

I have been invited to keynote the Youth Connect Summit in Pittsburgh, PA.  An audience like this will present a new challenge to me and one that I am very much looking forward to.  Youth Connect is a community run organization that was begun as a result of grass roots efforts to help young people avoid risky behavior.  It has become a community-wide effort that involves adults and students from our local and private schools, churches, and other community organizations.  I've been asked to provide a baseline of education related to teens use of technology and to help parents and community leaders be better prepared to have conversations related to their use of social networks.
