The Smart Parent's Guide to Facebook: Easy Tips to Protect and Connect With Your Teen - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Matt and Meagan Butler-Hannon are dorm parents at St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Austin, TX. Over the course of several years, Matt and Meagan have noticed a trend of misunderstanding and frustration between parents and teens regarding Facebook and other social networking sites. After hosting several Facebook seminars for concerned parents, it became clear that many of the fears and questions parents have about Facebook are the same, and that a little book to address some of these concerns could be helpful. Meagan and Matt did not grow up with online social networking, but were introduced to it very early on while in their college years. They find themselves in a unique "in between" generation that can empathize with many of the struggles of both parents and teens in regards to technology. Meagan is a former Teach for America teacher, and is currently a graduate student in School Counseling at the University of Texas at Austin. She is completing her thesis on Online Social Networking and the Impact on Well-being. Matt is a digital media producer, currently producing his thesis film for a Masters in Digital Cinema Production. He has taught classes for teens in digital media, and was the co-creator of the experimental Arc2 Project, a non-profit effort to create the full length feature digital movie Cactuses using only high school students as the crew.
