The Social DilemmaDiscover what’s hiding on the other side of your screen
The world has long recognized the positive applications of social media, from its role in empowering protesters to speak out against oppression during the Arab Spring uprisings almost a decade ago, to serving an instrumental role in fighting for equity and justice today. And in 2020, during an astonishing global pandemic, social media has become our lifeline to stay in touch with loved ones, as well as proving to be an asset for mobilizing civil rights protests. However, the system that connects us also invisibly controls us. The collective lack of understanding about how these platforms actually operate has led to hidden and often harmful consequences to society—consequences that are becoming more and more evident over time, and consequences that, the subjects in The Social Dilemma suggest, are an existential threat to humanity.
The Social Dilemma is a powerful exploration of the disproportionate impact that a relatively small number of engineers in Silicon Valley have over the way we think, act, and live our lives. The film deftly tackles an underlying cause of our viral conspiracy theories, teenage mental health issues, rampant misinformation and political polarization, and makes these issues visceral, understandable, and urgent. Through a unique combination of documentary investigation and entertaining narrative drama... https://Netflix.com/thesocialdilemma

Social Media, Sleep and Tired Teenshttp://www.dailyrxnews.com/nighttime-...
Many parents know just how distracting social media use can be for teens during the day. But nighttime use may carry an even heavier toll. A new study from the UK found that more than 1 in 5 UK teens may be regularly waking up during the night to check social media accounts — a habit that may disrupt sleep, increase fatigue at school and harm their overall sense of well-being. "Having a regular wake time and using social media during the night appear to be more important in determining whether a young person is always tired during the day than the time they go to bed, how long they spend in bed and having a regular bedtime," said lead study author Kimberley Horton, a research assistant at the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research Data (WISERD) at Cardiff University, in a press release. Teen Voices: Who Are You on Social Media?Teachers: for the lesson plan associated with this topic, please visit: https://www.commonsense.org/education... On social media, teens can choose how they present themselves to the world. They might take a pic and share it in the moment -- other times they might carefully stage and post only the photos they think are best. In this video, you'll hear from teens who are reflecting on how they make some of these choices as they curate their social media lives. As your students watch, encourage them to discuss and think critically about the self they're presenting on social media, and the self they're aiming to be.

Cyberbullying BY AMANDA LENHART One in three online teens have experienced online harassment. Girls are more likely to be victims, but most teens say that they are more likely to be bullied offline than online.About one third (32%) of all teenagers who use the internet say they have been targets of a range of annoying and potentially menacing online activities – such as receiving threatening messages; having their private emails or text messages forwarded without consent; having an embarrassing picture posted without permission; or having rumors about them spread online.

Fully 95% of all teens ages 12-17 are now online and 80% of those online teens are users of social media sites.1 Many log on daily to their social network pages and these have become spaces where much of the social activity of teen life is echoed and amplified—in both good and bad ways.

Incorporating & accounting for Social Media in Education | Harry Dyer | TEDxNorwichED
Harry discusses how the study of Social Media can help us better understand how youth are acting and interacting both online and offline, how young people adeptly navigate a growing and increasingly diverse assortment of social media, and how we can (and must) incorporate and account for social media in the classroom. Against the many calls and social panics insisting that we tell children to ‘disconnect’ from technology. Harry calls for an acceptance of the reality of Social Media and the inextricably enmeshed nature of the online and offline. He highlights the increasingly important and positive role it plays in young people’s lives, how we can better understand Social Media and young people’s relationship with it, and how we can incorporate and utilise their Social Media skills in education. Harry is a Digital Sociologist at the University of East Anglia, who achieved a scholarship to complete his Masters in Social Science Research Methods. He was then granted scholarship funding for his ongoing PhD under the supervision of Professor Victoria Carrington. His research focuses upon identity formation and performance in online Social Networking Sites. Using Actor-Network Theory along with ideas drawn from multi-disciplinary backgrounds such as Comic Book Studies, his research aims to explore how technology and site design can shape and affect the creation and maintenance of identities across a wide range of technologies and Social Networking Sites.

Schools are watching students' social media, raising questions about free speech
As universities have started paying close attention to the internet presence of prospective students, high schools have also begun cracking down, sometimes hiring outside companies to police social media posts for bullying or abusive language. But monitoring raises other problems, and civil rights groups are paying attention. Special correspondent Lisa Stark of Education Week reports.

This Is How Social Media Is Destroying Your Life - The Fake Reality
One of the most important videos I've made. After everything that happened to me in the past 2 years, I wanted to touch on an important subject. Social media isn't evil by itself, but it's fake and we need to open our eyes and realize that. The lives people share on social media, don't reflect the reality they live in. After the privacy crisis in the past year, Mark Zuckerberg had to speak in front of congress. Social media effects on your mental health are scary and we need to do something about it. #depression #socialmedia #facebook
FOMO: Our Relationship with Social Media
FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the anxiety we experience when we feel there’s something exciting happening elsewhere... and we’re not a part of it. It’s been around for awhile but these days, it’s usually triggered by social media. We have instant access to our friends’ activity. That can be a good thing but it makes it all too easy for us to compare our lives to theirs. This leads to us second-guessing our decisions and feeling generally insecure. It can even get to the point where there’s a looming sense of FOMO even when we’re not online. What you might not realize is that the people you’re comparing yourself to are also experiencing this same FOMO… Watch our video to learn more about FOMO and how to cope with it. We hope you enjoy!

Facebook Fearless: How social media can be good for you | Tracy Alloway | TEDxJacksonville
The ubiquitous use of social media has caused many to fear that these personalized technology platforms are creating a generation that is narcissistic and self-obsessed. But before we dismiss personalized technology as the perpetrator of our current societal ills, Professor Alloway argues that we must take a closer look at how social media can improve not only our memory of events, but also the way in which we observe our own lives and relate to those around us. Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway is a psychology professor and the Graduate Program Director at the University of North Florida. She was awarded an Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2015 as well as an Outstanding International Leadership Award in 2014. She was also the recipient of the prestigious Joseph Lister Award for outstanding skills in communicating to a non-specialist audience from the British Science Association. Tracy’s research has contributed to the scientific understanding of working memory, and specifically in relation to education and learning needs. She has presented her research to national organizations such as the National Center for Learning Disabilities, and as well as internationally to organizations such as the Japanese Society for Developmental Psychology and the Center on Research on Individual Development and Adaptive Education of Children at Risk in Germany, among others.
