I'm a published author! The Andover middle school digital learning specialists, Ms. Coughlin Porter, Ms. Murray and myself, created a book to help guide parents' understanding about social media and the role it plays in their middle school students' lives. A Middle School Parent's Guide to Social Media covers important topics such as your digital footprint, the THINK model, an overview of various current social media being used in and out of school, digital etiquette and safety, Andover’s policies on bullying and cyberbullying, as well as tips on how to manage students’ digital lives.
The chapters on bullying and cyberbullying have links to great resources to learn more about digital harassment, parent tip sheets, and Andover Public Schools policy and incident reporting form.
