134. How Student Social Media Habits Are Driving Teacher Burnout—and How to Fix It with Special Guest Laura Tierney

Social media's impact on students and teachers goes far beyond just distraction. For many teachers, social media, managing digital distractions in the classroom, and keeping up with the latest tech trends are fueling their stress and burnout. In this episode I am joined by Laura Tierney to chat about the impact of social media on teacher burnout and what we can do about it.

Laura Tierney is the founder and CEO of The Social Institute and creator of the peer to peer learning platform, #WinAtSocial. We're chatting about the role social media plays in education and in student life, as well as how teachers can utilize technology for learning and manage the pressures it creates. With Laura’s insights, you’ll feel confident to manage the impact of social media in positive ways, create tech policies that actually work, and set boundaries to reclaim balance in this digital world.
