In the month of October we’re providing a week of evening educational opportunities. These offerings are a mix of practical, theological, and biblical topics, and are great way to dig deep into important issues with relevance for today.
Please RSVP so we can be sure you get the link to join the Zoom discussion!
With current statistics suggesting that the average American over the age of 14 engages with screens upwards of 10 hours a day, the topic of our growing dependence on technology applies to nearly everyone. While the effects differ at each point of development, real changes to the brain, relationships, and personal lives are well documented.
This topic has significant relevance for parents, caregivers of children and educators especially now as so much of what we and our children do on a daily basis involves being connected to some kind of digital device.
On Wednesday, October 28th from 7-8:30pm you are invited to hear from Doreen Dodgen Magee, an expert on this subject, who will share with us about the implications of this hyper digital world we are living in and encourage us with how we can healthily moderate our use of technology. Doreen is an award winning author, speaker and psychologist with 28 years of experience working in private practice with individuals and groups. She is a reluctant “geek,” spending inordinate amounts of time interacting with scholarly research, tech trends, and pop culture around the topic of technology and how the digital domain is shaping us. Far from being technology phobic or averse, she works to bring a balanced view of the new realities working to inspire people to become moderate and well informed (not abstinent) in their tech engagement. Doreen is also the author of the Nautilus award winning book Deviced! balancing life and technology in a digital world. A copy of this book will be gifted to the first 5 people who RSVP for the event!
You don’t want to miss this educational opportunity. Please RSVP no later than October 26th.
