I watched Jesse Miller’s TedX “Revaluate, rethink, release” from 2014, which was about how we, and in particular, our children, engage and connect with technology and social media. I completely agree that children are often pacified with technology. I often see children in restaurants staring at a screen, not engaged with the family, just quietly watching colorful and bright things. And it is true, what Miller said, that that is not an example of a well-behaved kid. That is an example of a kid pacified with technology. That child is not learning how to behave while out in a public place. Or how to interact and converse with his family. It teaches him that it’s proper to be on your device while having a meal with your family. And with today’s youth feeling the need (or maybe even responsibility) to document and post their lives online for countless followers and likes, shouldn’t we do what we can as parents (and educators) to teach our kids when to put the phone down? Kids today are in a negative use of social media. They post anything and everything without the fear of any repercussions. And we, as adults, expect our youth to have the skills to have appropriate dialogue and content sharing, but that is often not the case. And often, something that shouldn’t have been shared is shared, and the damage is done. So, we need to teach our youth appropriate social media sharing. We have a multiliteracies course, and we have discussed the importance of being multiliterate, especially in today’s culture. I liked how Miller described that becoming media literate is more than turning the mobile device towards you and sharing a photo to social media. Media literacy means the device is turned outwards, and we capture the events around the world. Knowing when to record an event and when to put the phone down. And this is what we need to be teaching our youth.
