Oh, my… I am in the middle of my dissertation comprehensive exams. I am working on my essays, and my research books are falling apart! The pages were falling out, the binding was cracking, and I kept random pages on a corkboard. I took advantage of the FedEx office and had my books rebound. I LOVE IT!

You know you are a Ph.D. student when this makes your day! My books lay flat and will stay open. My new spiral-bound book brings me an enormous amount of happiness.

I am finding time to write between committee Zoom meetings and graduate student coursework. I LOVE my job as a full-time Ph.D. student and my research. Following my research is an absolute dream, and I love to talk about it!

In this video, I become a bit emotional as I talk about hearing how teachers, parents, and students continue to participate in school despite the war in Ukraine.

Today I talk about the intention of social media use and how adults are role models for children.

I reference the article, “4 Conversations to Have with Older Kids and Teens About Their Screen Time Habits” by #commonsensemedia and the ways parents or teachers can help children become responsible social media users.

I also mention the article, “Study: Social Media Didn’t Cause Teens’ Pandemic Stress” by #verywellhealth. Both articles discuss teens and their use of social media.

Finally, check out the book, “You Are What You Click” by Brian A. Primack.
