PRESENTATION: Want to know more about the cultural forces that impact the teenagers you work with, positively and negatively? Do you ever feel a little behind the times when hearing your students talk about their favorite shows, websites, or bands? Through survey results, live web exploration, and other presentation materials, this webinar will provide overviews and insight about the interests, activities, and other age-related cultural influences of today’s teenagers in NH, New England and beyond. As a result of this training participants will:
- Increase their knowledge about the pop culture media trends, including music, TV & web shows, and books, with a regional and US focus.
- Explore some of the websites and apps most popular with high school students.
- Gain further resources for information on cultural trends they learn about in the future.
