Technology for Teens Workshop

Technology is the collection of tools that we use to accomplish the tasks of our lives. Rather than throwing technology at a situation, let's use it to solve specific problems, with the full knowledge that technology can introduce problems of its own. While we will discuss the (electronic) tools we use to learn, technology education, and preparing for the future, there will also be a special focus on personal discipline (2 Timothy 1:7) and accountability (Proverbs 5:21).

Here are "Some Thoughts on Internet Safety".
