Keeping Up With Kids

A few years back, IFLS did a big project trying to get ourselves up to speed on new media, and how to help parents navigate the overwhelming avalanche of information and products.  One of the things we did was hold a workshop on the topic with a morning presentation by Erin Walsh.  Erin was AMAZING.  Thoughtful, interesting, warm, funny, and incredibly engaging.  

I’m so excited that she is going to be giving us another taste of her wisdom during the Wild Wisconsin Winter Web Conference on Thursday, January 25!   In this interactive and energizing webinar, Erin Walsh will use brain science, stories, and humor to explain how technology is changing the ways that young people grow up, socialize, and make decisions.  Erin will help librarians understand the key ingredients for thriving in the digital age and provide practical tools and strategies that help youth build on their strengths
