Teens are continually finding new social media platforms. Still, no matter what network it happens on, there are concerns for how teens use the new technology but also opportunities. Social Media Week Chicago will explore those questions and more in a panel at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Two of the panelists Sam Dyson, director of the Hive Chicago Learning Network, and Danah Boyd, a principal researcher for Microsoft Research and author of “It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens” join us in studio.
