We’ve seen a lot of troublesome things on social media over the last five years – fake news, misinformation, violence, name-calling, and other forms of abuse–right up to inciting violence in Washington DC. How do you talk about online behavior with kids when bad behavior is modeled by people we are supposed to look up to and respect? Join Diana Graber from Cyberwise and me for a free webinar “Deplatformed! How to Talk to Kids About Social Media Use Policies.” where we take on how to talk to your kids about online behavior–including getting kicked off of Facebook–and the importance of having your own social media policies. Bring your questions. Spoiler alert: You can’t count on Facebook. January 26, 2021, 12 noon PST, register at bit.ly/kickedoffsocial.
