What will you learn?

The idea is to present resources already created to assist you in understanding the social media platform and how you can guide your children in using them responsibly.  Various types of media will be used (inclusive of images and videos and even articles and preexisting courses) and this will guide your understanding. So, just delve into the resources at your own time and leisure. 

In addition, note how you will start from the basic or general information about digital citizenship and then delve deeper into the specifics of knowing when your children are ready to use Facebook, how to guide them in its use, and external support that you can gain from other parents.


It's best to go through the resources as numbered.  The information presented is scaffolded (build upon each other). Though you are free to browse at your leisure, doing it in order will reap better results.
