Thanks, @melindagates!

I love this approach to instilling good technology habits in your kids: instead of setting new rules for them to follow, work with them to create practical standards for everyone in the family—yourself included. https://t.co/Sm9014nH5D

Did you know that 88% of people say that their teachers played a significant positive role in their lives, and 79% of students say they’ve been encouraged to follow their dreams by a teacher?

Students can’t be what they can’t see. From instilling a love of learning to providing guidance and inspiration, teachers around the world play a crucial role in impacting the lives of students.

This #WorldTeacherDay we want to give a big THANK YOU to all the amazing teachers out there who are empowering and equipping students everyday.

Recognizing the ethical challenge of staying educated and informed while protecting your mental health, we advise students and adults to consider limiting their social media usage in the coming days, updating settings on devices to limit exposure to content that hurts their mental health, and seeking out credible news from verified sources that provide trigger warnings for graphic content.

Thank you to @TheSocialInst for this helpful guide to supporting young people as they navigate tragic news and violent content online.

It's vital to prioritize mental wellbeing when it comes to what we view, from both a technical & emotional perspective.
