Summary: Social media is an inescapable part of modern life. People everywhere check for “likes” to their posts frequently throughout the day. There is no escaping the net of the electronic social web.<br> In this episode we are joined by Laura Tierney of <a href="https://thesocialinstitute.com" target="_blank">The Social Institute</a> to help us teach our kids to use social media successfully. The truth is, kids generally don’t make a distinction in being social and being social on the internet.
