Social Media

With92 percent of teens going online dailyandnearly three-quarters of kids age 0–8 using apps, having The Talk is an essential rite of passage.

The knee-jerk reaction of some adults is to require teens to abstain from using social media for short or long periods of time, when instead they should#HaveTheTalk.

I have taken a step back to look at the bigger picture and the different components schools need to consider and gain fluency in order to best harvest the power of social media for them.

Students were upset when they learned Snapchat was blocked and they took their concerns to Twitter.

Social media for schoolsis about storytelling and getting their stakeholders (teachers, students, administrators, parents, community) to spread these stories.

The website finds interesting and real tweets at your language level easy, medium, or difficult.
