[CASL-L] Social Media Dangers

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Thanks for sharing this, Lauren. All of us need to remind students of and
talk with them about internet safety over and over and over again.

Here's an email I received from Laura Tierney the other day that you and
others might find interesting:

"Want the scoop on students' social media and tech use? Check out The
Social Institute's *latest article
<https://www.fosi.org/good-digital-parenting/new-survey-exposes-social-norms-students-navigate-social-media-and-tech/>
*for
the *Family Online Safety Institute*, where we break down the results of
our recent nationwide survey of 13,000+ students from both independent and
public schools.

*Among the survey’s key findings:*

   - Snapchat is the preferred app for 9th through 12th graders, while 6th
   through 8th graders prefer YouTube to all other apps
   - Instagram was ranked as the second most popular app for both groups.
   - When it comes to cell phone ownership, less than half of 5th graders
   report having their own phone (42 percent), and that number steadily
   increases each year until 9th grade, where 98 percent of students have
   their own phone.

*We also asked students what they wish their parents knew about social
media and tech:*

   - *“Not all of it is all bad and that it could be used for more purposes
   other than entertainment”*
   - *“You can create a private account that only you and your friends can
   see”*
   - *“How to use emojis correctly”*
   - *“Sometimes technology helps bring kids closer together and spreads
   news and awareness”*
   - *“Not all of it is inappropriate”*
   - *“You can’t pause online games”*
   - *“Just because they heard bad things about social media doesn’t mean
   we follow the trend”*
   - *“It is not our entire lives, but it is a big part of us; it’s
   different than their childhood, and that’s OK”*

New apps will come and go, but what should remain *steady and timeless* is
the positive decision-making that we equip students to have across any
social media account, platform, or device they use.

I hope you're doing well!

All the best,
Laura
