Special Guest: Dave Whalen of the Social Media Research Council (an expert on teens and Social Media)
Dave and his ministry:
Member of St. Paul’s Catholic church in Weirton. Social Media Advisory council. Have a very specific mission. Promote educate advocate media use. Appreciate the fact that social media is out there and can be positive. How can people use it in a positive way? What is really an eye opener? That this is the first time in our society that the kids know more about something than the adults and a lot more than adults. Trying to get their hands around it in a positive way.
Started a website, www.smacounsel.org
This is a free site and populates it as a user guide.
Helpful tips to stay out of trouble and how to navigate it. the other thing they have is they came across “irespect” cyber bully prevention program. Development by university of WV and can be taught in public schools. Want to come talk.
Irespect is geared to 4th-8th grade. Feels that is the most vulnerable time for kids. 80% of kid don’t realize they are being a cyber bully. How to recognize that you bullying when you don’t think they are. How to inform the kids if they are or not. Most scary thing is the silence. Most parents and other kids don’t know and don’t share this. Recognize the techniques that are out there. Also reinforce that ALL kids are important. When kids bully they focus on the weakness of the other. Need to realize the wholeness. They are more than this they are ________ (positive nouns).
Also encourage good digital users. Can’t take this away, taking the phone away isn’t what will work. Most important, if you are being bullied what to do how to get through it. comes in different flavors in 5 modules but can be more condensed. Adapt to the needs of the community. There is also a parent’s advisory module that can be separate or stay together; Kids & Parents. The kids aren’t going to come home saying they have been bullied so parents can see the signs without making more damage. These are the kinds of programs available. This is still fairly new and there are dedicated instructors to teach the youth you need to be on their level.
The other thing that is irespect is that you have to be prepared for emotional responses. Step delicately.
Question: Have a one-night event? Yes, can do this
When it is done in school a letter is sent to the parents to let them know what is being taught. The new platforms are so organic. When you talk in social media there is different language. These are also things that are covered.
Possibility to have a parent night and youth night
The next meeting will be Monday, October 10th at the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce
