Social Media presentation this Wednesday and Thursday

Parents, book Wednesday, December 10 - 7:00 pm at the Northlands Parkway Collegiate in Winkler.  This is a must see presentation in this day and age of our children using social media sites on a daily basis.  The presenter, Chris Vollum, requests that parents bring and use their smartphones and tablets to gain new knowledge about the social apps and sites that their kids are using to define their identities, personalities and reputations. .  The presentations goals are to provide clear examples, significant benefits and also risks associated with social sites like Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, SnapChat, Tmblr, Vine, Pinterest, and others.  The takeaway is that parents will be educated with a deeper understanding on how to support and discuss benefits (of which there are many) and risks of these sites and apps with their children.
Mr. Vollum will be at Carman Collegiate on Thursday, December 11 at 11:00 am to present to our students.  Students are also invited to bring in their devices for the presentation.
