Social media and online games can be fun and rewarding, but can also be addicting, or worse, dangerous, if used irresponsibly. This 2 Lesson Self-Paced class teaches safe social media tips and includes activities for students to engage with them. They include: Lesson 1: Who: Don't share information with strangers and practice good privacy and security. What: Which pictures, videos, and personal information are fine to share on social media? Which are too personal or inappropriate? Where: Not at the dinner table! Be 'present' in the real world, not a screen-zombie. Lesson 2: When: Avoid screen-time before bed for a better night's rest. Why: Are we obsessing over likes and follows? Or using the internet to build positive connections with friends and family? How long: Use apps to keep track of your screen time. This is a Self-Paced class with no live meetings. Each of the 2 Lessons includes a pre-recorded Lesson Video (plus an Optional Worksheet for comprehension) with accompanying Discussion posts, where students will do activities and engage in a back-and-forth with the teacher. Students are also welcome to message me or arrange Q&A or live "office hours" for additional support. I also offer this as a Live Class, if your student prefers that method of instruction: https://outschool.com/classes/fun-safety-on-social-media-online-games-tiktok-roblox-and-more-9n47pmGc See you in class!
