Social Media

Social media, the many online ways for people, young and old, to connect are many. While many young people, even in our elementary schools, use one or more of these platforms, many adults have little or no knowledge or understanding of many of them. Many adults use social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, but there are other platforms being used by young people to connect with each other, share experiences, and create things.  A Canadian educator, George Couros, put together a quick guide for parents on several of these platforms. Mr. Couros favors students using social media, but like with driving the family car, they benefit from knowledgeable guidance and supervision from trusted adults as they are learning to navigate the territory. Here is Mr. Couros’s information for parents interested in learning more about social media platforms being used by children today. The hope is that parents will find it helpful as they talk to their children about the use of social media tools, how to use them responsibly and respectfully.
