Students navigating screen time, free-range online choices, and gaming are constant focal points of concern for educators, parents, and caregivers. In this talk, Jesse Miller helps teachers "fine-tune" the student culture of communicating in online spaces and better understand how youth use technology. He covers themes around media literacy, screen time balance, reporting negative online interactions/experiences, and the beneficial use of social media and associated internet tools.
