ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Disruptive Technology
A disruptive technology can be defined as one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry. We will have an open discussion with attendees of what that means in the area of learning and technology. Bring your own ideas to discuss. We will also discuss “Screen Safe”, a Rivertown Communications e-Learning program designed to educate responsible adults on the dangers unsupervised social media use can be to today’s youth. Screen Safe is a collaboration between Rivertown Communications and several other contributors including:
- Jeff Olson – Instructional design
- Jessica Wong – Hazelden Betty Ford
- Julie Hertzog – National Bullying Prevention Center/PACER Center
- Julie Jacobs – Frontier Fellowship/Rivertown Christian Ministries Int’l
- Vijay Dixit – Shreye Dixit Foundation (preventing distracted driving)
