PAST EVENT: TECH301: Managing Your Digital Emotions – Aug 17

Please join us on August 17th from 5:30 – 7:00 pm at the Innovation Connector, 1208 W. White River Blvd for this free neighborhood association development opportunity.

Modern work and life requires effective digital communication. The digital world, however, carries its own set of rules, practices, and etiquette. Join us for this session as we briefly explore the concept of emotional intelligence, and then examine how to apply those concepts to your digital interactions. This session is ideal for neighborhood association members who are looking for more effective, healthy, and emotionally satisfying interactions in the digital world. Basic knowledge of e-mail, social media platforms, and texting will be required for this session.

This session will be co-hosted by Aimee Fant, MAP Neighborhoods Coordinator and David Neidert, Author and Public Speaker. (http://davidlneidert.com/)

Registration required.

*This event is made possible through the financial support of the Vectren Foundation.

Families for Forward Thinking: Partnering with Parents in the 21st Century

This immersive learning project continued the already established Families for Forward Thinking: Partnering with Parents in the 21st Century (FFT) program that began spring semester of 2016 with Wee Wisdom Nursery School and Child Care Center in Muncie, IN. In the continuation of this project, the students generated additional ways to build school, parent, and student relations through technology. They educated Wee Wisdom staff in current technology resources including the use of iPads in the classroom. Furthermore, students created an audio series for the Wee Wisdom online parent resource center. They interviewed community members and early childhood experts in the Digital Corps recording studio. Finally, Wee Wisdom parents were invited to an evening of training focused on internet safety guidelines for young children and introducing Wee Wisdom new Technology Initiative.
