Social Media

With the week closing out the semester in Psychology of Social Media, I have taken the time to look back and consider each lesson and was blown away by the reality of the digital revolution. This week’s module was directed towards the focus and priorities of social media and how it affects us all. I completed a discussion post on the impact of social media/screen time on our children for this module. Although, this is a major concern, the overuse of social media need to be addressed. Our children are a product of what we teach and that includes how we model social media use. I was most impressed by healthychildren.org and their sponsorship of a Family Media Plan. These plans are beneficial for old and young by ensuring that we do not fall victim to social displacement.
