Sex Ed Goes High Tech

The Bay Area is the site this week of the first-ever "SexTech" conference, focusing on how to use Web 2.0 tools, mobile technology and video games to teach teens about sex.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, which is covering the event, some suggested products arising from dicussions include: "A video podcast that talks frankly about sex. A 3-D computer game that sends teens on missions and, in the process, teaches them about safe sex and the consequences of sex. Text messages that answer frequently asked questions about condoms, pregnancy, sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and abuse."

Interesting stuff. Read more here.
