The adolescent brain is at a unique stage of development (Casey et al., 2011). As a result, when faced with potential reward behaviors, such as scrolling on Tik Tok, teens\u2019 brains are biased towards engaging in these behaviours. Tik Tok and other social media companies not only are aware of this but rely and capitalize on it. Let us give you some strategies to give you the upper hand. In our presentation, we will first be uncovering what is specifically happening in the adolescent brain and discussing how this contributes to teens\u2019 unique difficulty in stopping scrolling behavior on Tik Tok (and Instagram and Snapchat). We will then review simple strategies you can use to transform mindless scrolling into mindful and meaningful <\/span>engagement
with social media.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tSee the Presentation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tYour Digital Legacy: Creating a
Positive Digital Footprint<\/strong><\/h3>\nPresenters: Maya Lyon-Brown, Manelle McInroy, Katie Flannery, Ella Benzie, Sarah Bradfield<\/h6>\n
In today\u2019s digital age, how we portray ourselves on the internet is more important than ever. What we leave behind, referred to as our digital footprint, is out there forever. This may sound daunting, but it is important to remember that we can leave behind positive footprints.<\/span><\/p>\nIn this presentation, we will go into depth regarding internet hygiene to help you leave behind a positive digital footprint. What kind of online activity is viewed as negative? How do we not only avoid these negative posts, but engage with social media in a positive way? By offering strategies to create a positive footprint, we hope to create positive digital legacies across social media platforms.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tSee the Presentation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tCan We Use TikTok for Good?

Although it is important that teens are made aware of the negative effects of social media, this discussion dives into how social media can be used positively in your life when looking forward to your future. This discussion will get into how social media can help to build your personal brand and how teens can cultivate community through social media. The presentation will provide ways to use social media more effectively and maintain positive internet behaviours.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
