Do you know how to keep social media platforms safe?
The Best Solution to Social Media Safety Issues
Mr. Johnson asks his class whether they are active social media users. The response is overwhelmingly “yes”. He then asks if they know who can see their online information. The class is split between knowing it is mostly public and not knowing who sees what they have posted. He questions how youth can have social media but not understand how it works. Mr. Johnson decides this is a safety issue which he could help prevent. As a teacher, he can educate his students so that they can safely use what social media. This would be the best way for him to help prevent this lack of knowledge which could lead to the harm of his students.
