Social media has become an integral part of our lives. We enjoy sharing joy, success and important moments in our lives with friends, family and colleagues via platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. However, one area where the digital world requires special consideration is 'sharenting' - sharing content about our children on social media.
While sharing stories, photos and experiences about our children is a way of sharing our joy of their development, it also entails serious issues and concerns. As teachers and educators, we have a special responsibility to protect not only our own children, but also the students whose development and privacy are entrusted to us, and to promote safe and competent media use.The following video from Deutsche Telekom's campaign against online hate highlights the topic in an emotional way and makes it clear how difficult dealing with the issue of "sharenting" can be for both parents and children.
