The Dangers in Their Hands: Navigating Social Media with Amanda Jones

Jan 29, 2024

While she's known in some circles as "That Librarian", she'll always be the amazing Amanda Jones! 

The lesson she's sharing was directly inspired by her own experience with facing harassment online. It's a wonderful opportunity to give students space to share their own experiences and consider their own online behavior.
