Dave talks to middle and high school students candidly about focus and balance, helping them learn to take charge versus be controlled by the technology demanding their attention. Topics include cyber bullying and harassment, sexting, the dangers of pornography, being cautious about information shared online and the permanency of their digital record. He clearly sets up the case for why students need to control and monitor their actions with technology to guard their image and future as well as create a positive presence online. The presentation is very engaging and highly visual with a lot of images and multimedia. Dave polls the audience throughout the presentation by having students send answers to questions via text messages with the results displayed instantly.
