CMS Sixth Graders Learn Digital Leadership and Safety

CMS sixth graders are learning about digital leadership and creating a positive digital footprint on Monday.
Lamar Lee, a former college and Canadian Football League player, and himself the father of a sixth grader, is meeting with CMS classes this week.
Lee noted there are positives of social media, including creating a billboard for yourself.
However, he cautioned against oversharing information on social media, because things stay there forever.
He also noted that there’s an established correlation between time spent on a phone and depression and anxiety.
And he warned against masking an app by changing its icon to make it seem like it’s something benign such as a calculator.
“I’m not here to scare you with these apps,” Lee told the students. “But digital responsibility and leadership is how you protect yourself also.”
