Did You Know?
Taking the mystery out of the virtual world


What is a Virtual Mystery Tour?
A Virtual Mystery Tour is an interactive workshop designed to guide parents, teachers, and mentors through the world of teens, sex, and the Internet. Think of it as getting on an imaginary double-decker bus and taking in the sites of a new city or foreign land.

What can I expect?
By the end of the workshop, you will have an understanding of the different ways teens communicate online, a sense of the different places that teens "hang out" in cyberspace, and/or a set of talking points to use to start conversations with your teen about their Internet habits, your concerns, and setting up ground rules you both are comfortable with.

Who's my guide?   
The Virtual Mystery Tour was created by sex educator L. Kris Gowen, PhD, EdM. She leads the workshops along with her highly trained college-level students who have extensive knowledge of the internet and its hang-out spots.
