In this world of very available technology, our children and students have more "Cyber Freedom" than ever before.  They are connected through social, networks and cell phones, for both good and ill.  Dean Delisle, Founder and CEO of Forward Progress will discuss what we can do to protect our students from bullies, predators advertisers, reputation threats and themselves. Mr. Delisle has coached and trained over 50,000 people globally on the benefits and cautions of social networking and proper use of the Internet>  He has created programs to assist schools and colleges, as well as a program to improve Social Network Responsibility for families named MySocialTutor.com. With over on million reports of Cyberbullying on Facebook alone, this is a timely and important topic.

One of our most popular webinars to date was 2011's New Findings in Brain Research for Educators session.  And the pace of investigation into matters of the brain hasn't slowed down in the least.  Once again, each week seems to bring more news on how the brain functions and how the research is transforming education from trial-and-error and guesswork to evidence-based approaches. 

The focus of this year's New Findings webinar will be what we are learning about the adolescent brain and some of the latest thinking on creativity and how to help students (and ourselves) become more creative.  Time permitting, we hope to touch on new findings on attention and multi-tasking, 

This webinar qualifies for 1 Continuing Professional Development Unit (CPDU, Illinois).
