Description

You are invited to a community event brought you by The Owen Center and Axis. We live in a world saturated with technology. While the technology in itself isn't bad, like every other tool, it can be used for evil and destruction. Students need their parents and faith leaders to intentionally and lovingly guide them on how to use technology with wisdom. In this session, we will examine the leading technologies that are discipling the next generation, how they have revolutionized your child's world, and offer incredibly practical steps for how to use them with wisdom.
