Peggy Kendall just can't stop talking about technology. Whether it's Instant Messenger, IM, Facebook, MySpace, video games, or cell phones, she challenges students, parents, and youth ministry workers to consider how technology is touching our hearts and changing the way we communicate. Peggy holds a Ph.D. in Communication and has been teaching in the Communication Studies department at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN, for almost 20 years.

She is the author of two books:

ReWired: Youth Ministry in an Age of IM and MySpace

Connected: Christian Parenting in an Age of IM and MySpace
