The world of social media is bigger than you
may realize and, whether we like it or not,
our children are living in it.
We teach our children all kinds of skills for life:
how to ride a bike, how to cook/bake, how to swim.
They also need our help in learning to stay safe in this online world.
Donna Hatch is the Apple Technology Coordinator
at St. Mary's School and hosted our presentation on
Children and Social Media.
