Social media is an important part of all of our lives. However, there is no requirement for students in Manitoba to receive formalized education in regards to social media and its usage in the K-12 Canadian curriculum instruction. Such formalized education is extremely important for adolescents to understand the multiple facets of social media usage and engagement. These facets include and are not limited to exploring both the risks and the advantages associated with social media usage, consistent classroom programming with multiple members of the school team (guidance counsellor, school social worker and school psychologist), access to community resources, and management of social media to navigate their life online. When adolescents are safe online, they can use social media as an important tool to enhance their lives.
