In today's episode, Ja'Neair is joined by co-host Tyler Hill, ACS Director of Communications, as they continue exploring The Social Media Brain Drain. What is it, and how should we think about social media use in today's digital world?

This week, they speak to Jason Winkler, an Instructional Technology Supervisor who specializes in technology curriculum and instruction, about the role social media plays in our teens' lives. Jason talks about the importance of modeling good Digital Citizenship and gives parents tips on how they can strike a balance on technology use. As he shows us, it all begins with a plan.
