Should educators teach students social media safety? Should there be a specific curriculum? Should educators be expected to have conversations with students about what they are doing outside of a set curriculum? These are all good questions...and ones that we must address as social media issues continue to create challenges within the classroom. In this episode we discuss the educators role...and how the answers maybe found in the micro-moments of the day.

School is back in session! Summer flew by and now we will be entering classrooms with a new group of students. And those little cyber stalkers are going to immediately do an online check to see who they will be spending the next 9 months with. So how do you protect yourself? Should you have an online or social media presence? In this episode we chat about what we can do to be able to have an online presence while making sure you and your students are protected.

In todays episode Allana Chris joins us to discuss human and sex trafficking. Allana Chris is the Founder and Executive Director of Little Tree Project, an anti-human trafficking organization headquartered in South Alabama with the mission of combating human trafficking through prevention, rehabilitation, and restoration. She has over 6 years of experience in the counter trafficking field conducting domestic and international rescue and aftercare services. Her experiences and conversations with survivors of modern slavery lead her to start Little Tree Project with a model that is survivor-driven and solution-focused, filling in the gaps expressed by survivors themselves. Little Tree is currently offering community awareness and prevention services, referrals to survivors, and more while they fundraise for their anticipated residential facility. 

In this episode Allana provides us with incredible insight around sex and human trafficking. Among MANY things we discuss, she explains the two ways that traffickers have access to their victims...through hunting & fishing. 83 percent of these cases now originate from online. Every child /teen that has access to online is at risk of potentially having contact with one of these predators. Allana does a beautiful job not only discussing the risks, but what we can look for as parents, how we can protect our kids and how we can help protect others from potential harm.

If you would like to support The Little Tree Project or if you know...or suspect someone is a victim of...trafficking... you may contact her at any of the places listed below.

Me Camp....Jen Hatmaker coined this phrase and it is brilliant! Her time away for her...and only her...is her Me Camp....and I could not love it more. I have been doing Me Camp for 12 years now. It started out as an hour away and this month I took a WEEK! I chat about why it is so important to fill your cup up for you, why you shouldn't feel guilty about this (not one little bit), and how it can help you come back a happier, centered, filled up version of the best you!

My son recently graduated. He also turned 18 two days before graduation. I feel there should be a rule somewhere that says those two things can not co-exist in the same month. But the dust has settled...and left me with several thoughts. 18 things I know to be true after 18 summers...and one graduation.

What if technology disappeared tomorrow? What if all the little parts that allow us to function everyday...from our phones to our cars to your fancy coffee pot...what if we could not get access to those parts? These parts also control our computers that run our everyday lives. Would we survive? More importantly....would our children? I fully believe that if you are north of 30, you have a running chance of things working out. But our youth today do not know life before social media. Before tech. So I think it begs the question...are we preparing our kids for the basics? Do they know how to take care of themselves, and their community without tech?
