“This isn’t Kansas, Toto.” Living in the New, Digital World: Lessons for Adults and Children
March 25
“This isn’t Kansas, Toto.” Living in the New, Digital World: Lessons for Adults and Children
Presented by Dr. Patricia Fosarelli, MD, DMin
Sponsored by the Lutheran Faith Community Nurse Association
Course Description: The digital world is here to stay, and while it is capable of offering information and opportunities previously unavailable to most of us, that capability is a double-edged sword. Information that is false can be passed off as truth; comments that are mere opinions can appear to be facts; websites that are inappropriate for anyone can be accessed by the youngest or most vulnerable; persons who appear to be peers on social media can be predators; humiliating social media posts can lead the most susceptible to harming themselves.
At the end of this session:
- Participants will identify the various electronic media available today – what they offer and to whom they offer it.
- Participants will be able to identify measures to protect the children elderly and mentally challenged individuals from being victimized.
- Participants will identify two ways we can protect ourselves from false information on the internet.
- Participants will be able to identify three strategies for how this information can be used in ministry.
This session will held March 25, 2025 from 7:00-9:00pm ET via Zoom. Learn more and Register.
