189 Helping make appropriate social media choices for families.

Marc Berkman is the executive director of Organization for Social Media Safety, and Ed Peisner the founder of Organization for Social Media Safety. Ed's son Jordan Peisner was a victim of a social media attack, motivating these gentlemen to take action to assist others in helping to make appropriate social media choices for their families. "Every time your child logs onto social media they are at risk from a number of social media-related dangers like cyberbullying, depression and suicide, hate speech, sexting, and human trafficking, to name just a few. And many children are averaging over 5 hours a day on social media! Previously, parents had to go hunting and pecking around the internet or rely on the parent rumor mill to learn how to keep their child safe on social media. No more. With the Buckling the Social Media Seatbelt course, parents can learn -- for the first time in one place -- a comprehensive system to keep their child safe on social media. During the course you will learn from the experts in social media safety -- what social media safety conversations to have with your child, what safety rules to set, and how to calibrate the settings for your devices and social media apps."    For the latest tips and practices on how to stay safe on social media check out www.ofsms.org.    The Disrupt Education Podcast is a proud member of The EdUp Experience Podcast Network  #rebelteachernetwork  Check out our sponsors below eLearning Partners Need help starting your eLearning courses or training?  Become a partner of eLearning Partners to create your courses and training stress-free, and achieve the results you want to see.  Hit the eLearning Partners link for more information on a FREE MasterClass --> https://www.e-learningpartners.com/a/2147499455/SH7oznjY spikeview You are more than a grade and test score.  Colleges, internships, jobs, any opportunity needs to see that!  Head to www.spikeview.com and build your portfolio for FREE and start heading towards your dreams today!
