AllThis is one problem that we didn’t see 10 years ago! The real issues surrounding social media and the impacts it has on our student’s (and maybe even our own) learning is a challenge new to educators.
Come join us and together we will “unpack” the new anxieties of FOMO (fear of missing out) and “Social Media Anxiety Disorder” to our students. Arm yourself with the knowledge of what these anxieties can mean and look like in your classroom.
Get an opportunity to collaborate with others to plan reasonable and practical strategies for teaching students to regulate social media in their lives.
