SHort on Time? Quick Tips Below
SOCIAL ISSUES:
1. Give your students ten minutes at the beginning of class, twice a month or as needed, to go through their social media apps and unfollow people who are not adding to their life or mental health in a positive way.
2. Promote autonomy by giving students a quick, scientifically based summary of what they need to know: see the social issues tab for a accessible description of your brain's addiction to social media. Empower students to use technology instead of it using them.

SECURITY:
1. Support their use of the internet. Let students know you trust them and their decisions. Just give them the tools to stay safe online such as keeping accounts private and adjusting privacy settings.
2. Let students know that research shows that the less private they are online the more common stalking and cyberbullying are. Empower them to protect themselves. They are entering into emerging adults and can handle increased independence as long as that communication is present.
