  2. Socializing Communicating Creating Playing Exploring Learning

  4. Raising Children in this Media-Driven Society • Do you know how many hours per week the average American child between the ages of 8 and 18 spends with media and technology? The answer is 53 hours! • This is time outside of school. Children spend more time online, with their phones, watching TV, or playing video games than they do in school or with their parents!

  5. We do not want social media to become a dangerous distraction! Students need to learn how to utilize technology safely and ethically.

  6. Instagram Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram — it's that easy. You can even share to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and more. It's a new way to see the world.

  7. Instagram • Instagram is not for children under the age of 13, • The single most important thing to realize is that, by default, anyone can view the photos that you upload to Instagram. In other words, your profile and your photos are publicly viewable unless you tell it otherwise. • During the process of uploading a photo, the geo-location data of the photo you’re uploading can easily be shared with your followers if you’re not careful. Fortunately, Instagram turns geotagging off by default, but it’s easy to accidently turn it on.

  8. Twitter Find out what’s happening, right now, with the people and organizations you care about.

  9. Twitter • Most of the communication taking place on Twitter is public and viewable by everyone. Since the information posted is public, some of this data may be made available or republished on other websites. • While Tweets can be protected so only approved followers can see them, most users share their Tweets with everyone. If you have a child that is using Twitter, their Tweets should only be available to approved followers, teach them how to protect their Tweets.

  10. Scale Everything takes place before a vast audience “15 minutes of fame” You don’t know who will see your information

  11. Searchable Easy to find information Kids don’t always think before they post Damage to reputation Access to information

  12. Anonymity

  13. Vine Twitter's Vine app adds a visual element to social sharing. It consists of a stop and go video capture that grabs six seconds of video at a time, so you can quickly and easily create compilation or looping videos.

  14. Vine • Vine is free, and it's easy to sign up.It is likely that you won't even know that your child is on Vine unless you monitor them online. • Vine doesn't verify age.Vine's privacy policy states that the "services are not directed towards persons under 13", but there isn't any sort of system in place to verify age. • You can't block who follows you on Vine.Anyone can follow you (or your child) and anyone can view your videos and your child can browse anyone else's videos, some of which may have inappropriate content.

  15. Tumblr Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos from your browser, phone, desktop, email or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors to your theme's HTML. Appropriate and inappropriate content is easily accessible.

  16. Kik. Kik. is the fast, simple and personal smartphone messenger.  What's not to love? Remember, you don’t need a phone to use iPhone apps; if your child has an iPod touch or an iPad, they can install iPhone apps.  Kik is just one of many free texting apps available in the App store.

  17. Kik. • Kik is rated 17+ in the app store.  You can adjust App Rating restrictions (at least for iPod, iPad and iPhone users) to prevent the download of adult-oriented apps like Kik.   • Learn how to restrict apps by rating! • Just Google How to Restrict by Rating and detailed procedures will come up.

  18. Ask.fm On Ask.fm, members pick which questions, often just statements, they want to respond to. Their answers, which can include photos and video, are posted to their profiles, as well as to a real-time feed of responses.

  19. Ask.fm • Ask.fm is crazy popular. Think of it as an online "truth or dare" type of game, but the person typing the answer has no idea who actually sent them the question • Anyone can post a question. You don't even need to be a member to post a question. It's basically parent-free and totally open to the world.

  20. Poke The Poke app for iPhone is a simple and fun way to say hello to your friends. You can send pokes, along with messages, photos and videos, you can choose how long they'll be available for your friends to view up to 10 seconds. After that, they disappear from the app.

  21. Snapchat Snapchat is a mobile app which lets users share images or videos that disappear after a few seconds. That's right -- they vanish forever in the time it takes you to read a tweet.

  22. So that means our kids are leaving digital footprints

  23. Educate, educate, educate! • Websites like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr can only go as far as requesting their age during registration; it’s in your hands to educate your child about following the rules, whether it’s in school, on the soccer field or online.

Social Media Can be Positive • If utilized correctly, social media can help all of us stay in touch, communicate more efficiently, share and collaborate with others. • We are making every effort to stay current, to help educate your children and to keep you informed. • Our latest venture is the establishment of a Little Silver Schools App.
