Student Safety in the Social Media Era

TikTok and Snapchat and Discord, oh my!

From its impact on mental health and the interplay with student discipline to the ability to connect and build peer relationships, social media affects our students now more than ever.

During this presentation, we will discuss how to balance the benefits and detriments of student use of social media amid the social media era.

Through the discussion of statistics, current events, OAH case examples, and legislation, we will discuss safety concerns and best practices to manage and monitor social media to keep students safe.

After attending this presentation you will have a firm grasp of social media platforms currently used by students, the impact of social media on student mental health, and how to spot and address social media issues in the school setting.
