Dear Grades 4-7 Families,
I would like to invite you to a special Junior School Coffee Talk on the topic of social media and the acceptable use of technology for students. This presentation will be given by international speaker Jesse Miller, founder of Mediated Reality. After the parent session, our guest speaker will also meet with our grade 5 -7 students and faculty.
When: Wednesday, December 6th from 8:30 - 9:45 am
Why: Children navigating screen time, free-range online behaviours, and gaming are focal points for parents and caregivers. Supporting families as we move forward, we need to fine-tune the student culture of communicating in personal, professional, and entertainment online spaces. The main themes of conversation in this session will include media literacy, screen time balance, reporting negative online interactions and experiences, and beneficial use of social media and associated internet tools.
In this session, the following topics will be discussed:
- Understanding and using social media responsibly
- Balancing technology use for school, communication, and entertainment
- Positive use of gaming & participation in Internet communities
- Digital consent in social sharing
- School and public enforcement of Internet actions & behaviours
- Reporting tools for unsafe Internet behaviours
Grade 4-7 Parents: Log in to myYHS to RSVP.
