Whether parents or teenagers, we have all benefitted from internet technology and an increasingly connected world. However, the many positive advancements of technology have been accompanied by a darker side including cyber-bullying, pornography, sexting, etc.
This “darker side” of technology can negatively affect us with short and long-term consequences. As parents, we cannot afford to ignore this danger, but rather we need to confront it with awareness, understanding, and the light of God’s direction.
Dr. Tim Sumerlin and Valerie Fincher, high school and middle school counselors, will provide parents with helpful and powerful insights and advice about how we can help our children avoid the pitfalls of internet technology. Much of this program will also specifically address teens.

A Social Media "What to do - and what not to do" for Middle School'ersGary Kayye
A Social Media "What to do - and what not to do" for Teens
This is a short social media presentation I delivered at Culbreth Middle School in Chapel Hill, NC in April 2015. They were working on a Social Media Constitution for all the students to follow to guide proper social media usage. I presented this as a "do's and don'ts" of social media.
Technology has had a significant impact on modern society. It has made many tasks easier by allowing people to accomplish things from home without leaving. However, overreliance on technology has also negatively impacted family and social interactions, as people spend more time online than enjoying life together in person. While technology offers conveniences, it is also reducing important real-world skills like communication and basic math, and shifting communication primarily to social media instead of in-person interactions. Both benefits and drawbacks of technology must be recognized.
95.7% of social media-savvy organizations in India use social media to build communities and advocate usage, while 76.1% use it to highlight brand news. Facebook is the most important social media platform for marketers in India to engage customers, followed by Twitter, YouTube, and blogging. The continued growth of social media is driven by increased mobile access and the proliferation of new social media sites. Consumers now use social media as a shared experience while watching TV or seeking customer service.
Pollen VC Building A Digital Lending BusinessPollen VC
Pollen VC builds a digital lending business to help app developers access their app store earnings early. Their tech platform connects directly to app stores to price risk in real time. This allows developers to reinvest earnings daily into user acquisition instead of waiting 60+ days for platforms to pay out. Typically, developers fail to get early credit and can't acquire more users, but Pollen VC's new model provides funding using real-time app data to validate risk. They aim to fund more opportunities for long tail developers by improving access to working capital.
Social media and digital technologies can negatively impact students' education in several ways: (1) They are distracting and cause students to multitask while studying, reducing academic performance; (2) Students waste too much time on social media and rush through homework instead of focusing; (3) Overuse reduces students' real-life communication skills. Excessive use of digital devices and social media can also lead to health issues from lack of physical activity, poor eating and sleeping habits, addiction and distraction from studying, and declining writing and language skills as students rely more on spellcheck than their own abilities.
Lilly Nesbitt's Flipbook- The Impact of Social Media on Mental HealthLilly Nesbitt

Overall, social media could both contribute to and help address mental health issues depending on how it is used.

Facebook, LinkedIN & Beyond - or how the new media changed how sales people d...AdNerds
A lot of industries have changed drastically since the arrival of the internet. Think of the music business. The Internet comes with threats and great opportunities, if you set the proper objectives and strategy.
In this presentation, we present insights in how sales managers and new bizz people can use tools like Facebook and LinkedIN to their benefit. Especially LinkedIN requires a completely different approach, since authority is only gained by participating fully. And having your sales manager be very active on a platform like LinkedIN makes them easier to find for your competitors. But not having them participate, is a threat as well...
At AdNerds - part of Proximity BBDO - we give advice on how to behave, how to set the proper objectives and how to define your strategy.

1. Curiosity is the root of creativity, and maintaining curiosity keeps leading people down new paths of exploration and discovery. Staying curious requires an openness to new ideas and experiences.
2. Connecting different experiences and ideas is how truly creative people develop new combinations and solutions. Creativity comes from making connections between old elements in new ways.
3. Failure is an inevitable and necessary part of innovation. An environment that encourages risk-taking and learning from mistakes allows people to do new things where failure is possible but not feared. This kind of culture is more conducive to breakthrough

These include showing curiosity about what children are doing online, having open conversations about likes and dislikes, and encouraging wonder and learning through educational websites and games.

To become globally competitive, students must learn how to learn by constantly absorbing new information in hands-on and visual/auditory ways. Their curiosity quotient (CQ) and passion quotient (PQ) are more important than their intelligence quotient (IQ). Educators should instill curiosity in students by teaching them to educate themselves and get excited about learning. They should also instill passion by helping students find their inner motivations. Developing people skills will become more valuable than computer skills. Nurturing both the left brain and right brain is important for logical and intuitive thinking.
