During this session, we will cover offerings from Amazon, Sony, Borders, and Barnes and Noble. Not only will their feature sets be compared, but we will also look at the content that is available for each device.

Program Description		We live in a society that is extremely preoccupied by body image where students are bombarded everyday about how they should look, how they should dress, and how they should act. As educators and parents, if we understand more about some of these pressures and how to resist them we can create a culture to empower students. Let's help students feel better about their bodies, understand influences that affect body image, and promote a healthier social environment!
Program Format		The presenter will share information on body image issues with attendees, and take questions from audience.
Objectives		At the end of this hour-long presentation over videoconference, educators will understand the following: • Understand factors that affect self-perception and body image • Understand risks of negative body image in youth • Identify ways school staff can empower youth to form a more positive body image.
