Social media use and concerns GUESS THE APP!!!
Yik ASK FM KIK Snapchat VOXER Yak Vine Whisper Shots of me
Yik Yak: Yik Yak says the app “acts like a local bulletin board for your area by showing the most recent posts from other users around you. It allows anyone to connect and share information with other users without having to know them.” Kids can share anonymous messages or “yaks” within a 1.5 miles radius. Anonymous and cyberbullying go hand in hand. Yik Yak has made the news recently because of its anonymous cyberbullying capabilities and use. Users are able to chat anonymously with people in their geographic vicinity by enabling the GPS feature of this app.
Emotional Wellbeing: Developing Mindfulness ‘Mindfulness means knowing directly what is going on inside and outside ourselves, moment by moment.’ Becoming more aware of the present moment can help us enjoy the world around us more and understand ourselves better. Mindfulness evening: 28th November
