Being a parent of a teenager is hard, especially when it comes to technology. On Monday, middle and high school students in the Marshall area will get a first-hand on how social media affects their daily life and what the dangers are from educator Dave Eisenmann.
Dave Eisemann has spent the last five years talking to schools across the state about technology safety issues especially when it comes to social media.
Marshall High School Principal Brian Jones told the Marshall Independent, that in this day and age, school districts can't expect kids to unplug technology, but they can teach students how to use it responsibly.
Eisemann will also be giving a presentation to parents called Cyber Safety: Catching Up with High-Tech Kids. This presentation will talk about how parents can have an open dialogue with their kids about technology and how parents play a significant role in today's high-tech world. This presentation will take place Monday night at 7 P-M in the Marshall Middle School Theater.

Yes, technology is extremely important to people of this generation. It is an essential tool that has almost even became necessary to survive. Technology and especially social media can be unsafe, especially for younger users. I do think it is important for parents to have an open relationship with their kids and explain the dangers of the internet and social media. I think it is important for kids to understand that what they post on social media sites now can affect their futures and have consequences. People can never be too educated about thing such as this. Should be a good and informative presentation.
