Understand Snapchat

Josh here from SmartSocial.com.

Since you're reading this newsletter, I assume your student has a cell phone or has been asking you for one and new technology will eventually be added to your house.

On our blog today we have 16 tips for best cell phone practices for your family to help everyone minimize the time we spend on our devices.

We have three live events this week. Start the week tonight (Tuesday) with the Smart Social Parent Night Event or Wednesday with the Smart Social Educator webinar to get a crash course on the dangers of the most popular social media sites among your students.

Then, save time to join me live with your student on Thursday night for a deep-dive to Navigating Snapchat for Students and Parents and learn the details of Snapchat.
