“Tweens, Teens & Social Media: What PARENTS and EDUCATORS Need to Know!” is a free presentation that Oakland Schools created in response to growing issues with students using (and misusing) social media platforms.

Scaring students off social media is just a temporary fix. This workshop will equip adults to educate, guide and assist tweens and teens with social media tools – while helping them use these powerful platforms for positive, personal advancement.
