For kids, miscommunication is a common occurence online and on social media. Plus, being behind a screen makes it easier to say things they wouldn't say in person. So how do we help kids avoid the pitfalls of digital drama? Help them learn tips on avoiding online drama in the first place and de-escalating drama when it happens.
Students will be able to:
-
Reflect on how easily drama can escalate online.
-
Identify de-escalation strategies when dealing with digital drama.
