Do schools need to be more careful when using social media?
About this episode
Schools now make extensive use of social media for communication and self-promotion.
We talk to Tiffani Apps (University of Wollongong) about the data justice implications of school social media feeds, and how rights-based approaches can help schools engage with platforms in less harmful ways.
