Having presented social media safety and digital literacy education to over 1080 schools and 600,000 youth throughout Canada and the United States, we have heard one message loud and clear from educators, counselors, youth care workers, and community-based mental health workers; that message - “Many of our youth that we interact with are facing social media dilemmas, but yet we have never received any in-depth training on what youth are doing online, and what we can do to both help our student/client and protect ourselves at the same time.” We have now developed a 2hr Pro-D training workshop that will provide participants with the information and online best practices needed to understand what youth are doing online, and what workers can do to better serve their student/client if faced with youth-based social media conflict or online critical incidents. This training will also “dovetail” nicely into any threat assessment model.

Topics Covered

What are youth doing online
Current case law and “Best Practices” specific to youth and their use of social media
Artificial Intelligence and how youth are using it
Understanding a youth's social media baseline
How to reduce the risk of a student/client using the internet as a weapon against an educator/worker
Understanding the language of the Internet and Social Media
What are the most popular Apps and Social Networks being used by youth
What is a “decoy” or “vault” App and why youth are using them
Recommended online tools that every educator/worker should be using to protect their own online safety, security, and privacy
How to professionally utilize social media in your job
Why workplace policy on social media is so important
How a worker can be disciplined for their social media and internet use both on and off the job
When to notify the police
Plus much, much more !!!
Participants do not need to be Social Media experts to participate in this workshop

The White Hatter Broadcasting Studio operates within a dedicated 1,000 sq. ft. video production space—offering far more than a typical laptop webcam meeting.

Video on Demand (VOD) is a digital media distribution system that allows users to access video content whenever they choose, rather than following a fixed broadcast schedule. With VOD, viewers can stream video content over the internet to watch on their own time, from any device. It's just like renting a Movie online.

No. You can only stream the program on one device at a time. If you are a school or organization looking to stream the VOD simultaneously across multiple classrooms, we recommend our Group Premiere Access option. These Video On Demand options are offered at a group rate and are accessible to anyone in your community for a 24-hour period—allowing everyone to watch at the same time.
