One of our film programs, [LIKE](https://www.impactful.co/like), is a program on a mission to inspire, inform, and help equip all of us to effectively regulate screen time. Almost 800 educators came together to discuss the powerful topic of how technology is greatly impacting education. Check out the recorded discussion below!  When iMPACTFUL first released our film program LIKE in 2019, the conversations around technology, spending time online, children having access to the internet + other related topics, were very different. These conversations have shifted. What used to be discussing protocol for how old a child should be before they get a phone or about tactics for how to keep children off their devices, are now conversations that hold much higher importance and stakes. We’re now bringing in national security, online harm, privacy, attention, and how technology is changing learning and the role of the educator into the conversations.  Check out the short but iMPACTFUL conversation above, learn more about the Learners Edge Educator Course by clicking [HERE](https://courses.learnersedge.com/courses/dl/21st-century-learning/Exploring-the-Impact-of-Social-Media-on-Students-Wellness-and-Society/5115), and dive deeper into our LIKE year-long, award-winning, film-based school and business program, click [HERE](https://www.impactful.co/like).  We hope to see you in a conversation like this one soon!  #### Share this [Share on Twitter](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.impactful.co/the-blog/exploring-the-impact-of-social-media-on-students-an-impactful-conversation-with-learners-edge&text=Exploring%20the%20Impact%20of%20Social%20Media:%20Conversation%20with%20Learners%20Edge) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.impactful.co/the-blog/exploring-the-impact-of-social-media-on-students-an-impactful-conversation-with-learners-edge&t=Exploring%20the%20Impact%20of%20Social%20Media:%20Conversation%20with%20Learners%20Edge) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.impactful.co/the-blog/exploring-the-impact-of-social-media-on-students-an-impactful-conversation-with-learners-edge&t=Exploring%20the%20Impact%20of%20Social%20Media:%20Conversation%20with%20Learners%20Edge) ### No Comments Yet Let us know what you think -
