SUMMARY:Preparing Middle Schoolers for the Ups and Downs of Smartphones and Social Media with Jennifer Berger of Ready Set Screen
DESCRIPTION:This eye-opening presentation challenges the usual assumptions about how teens and kids can be safe\, smart\, and healthy in the digital age — and what media literacy is — and illuminates what kids actually need to thrive online. Drawing from 16+ years of classroom experience with more than 10\,000 teens and two years of surveying and interviewing parents and their kids\, Jennifer Berger offers a unique perspective as a community educator who witnessed media literacy education transform students. This isn’t another doom-and-gloom talk about social media dangers. Instead\, you’ll learn how libraries\, schools\, and families can fill the critical gap in media literacy education\, moving from awareness to meaningful action. Here’s the link to join!
