WEBINAR – Behind the Screen: Understanding the Power of Social Media in Young Peoples’ Lives with Rosalind Wiseman

Tune in for the Behind the Screen Webinar Hosted by AMLE.

How is social media influencing children and teens identity development, friendships, and conflict with other people? While young people are using social media to express their creativity and connect with others, many young people’s preoccupation with curating the ideal image to gain and maintain a sense of belonging, approval can drive their insecurity and anxiety. In this webinar, Rosalind Wiseman will share insights from teens about the impact of social media on young people’s social dynamics, relationships and friendships through their social media platforms.

• Examine latest developments in young people’s use of social media and its connection to identity development and group social dynamics.
• Identify how social media interactions between students impact on the school community.
• Share strategies for middle schoolers to responsibly handle conflicts on social media.
