If you don't know what a digital first responder or a digital citizen is, or what to do to help your kids or the kids in your life combat cyberbullying and start opening the dialog around devices and digital use, this is the episode for you! In this episode, you will hear: The difference between being a snitch and asking for help. Fostering the connection between parents and their kids. Being mindful of your digital footprint.

With the prevalence of cyber bullying and the alarming rate of suicide, especially in young teenagers, it is important that we all become more aware of the detrimental effects of social media. Although bullying has been an issue for all generations, the youth of today are dealing with a different type of bullying that can feel almost impossible to escape from. Avoiding where the bully might hang out, or running to the safety of your home doesn't work anymore because the bullies can be found all over the devices so many of us are attached to. In this episode, Tony talks to Kim Karr about the very important work she is doing to combat cyber bullying and educating others on how to be a “digital first responder.” Kim Karr is a co-founder of the non-profit called #ICANHELP where she shows students and adults how to use Digital4Good. #ICANHELP is an effective, outcome-based program, and has received recognition from Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and major tech companies like Google, Twitter + Facebook. #ICANHELP celebrates youth innovation, empowers digital changemakers and promotes digital safety. Kim has presented the #ICANHELP program to over 470,000 students, has impacted 12.5 million, and has been instrumental in taking down a thousand negative social media sites. Kim shares why she started her non-profit after 13 years of teaching and why it is so important for everyone to learn how to use social media for good and uplifting others, instead of tearing each other down. So many people don't know how to respectfully disagree with others or even filter the type of content they are taking in every day. Kim also shares how to talk to youth about using social media in a safer and more productive manner. Key highlights: How Kim got involved in her mission of teaching others how to use social media appropriately We need to focus on people first and realize their behavior can be an indication of something being wrong The shift that is happening of people wanting realness online The stats of cyberbullying and how depression and anxiety have increased dramatically during COVID 50% of kids are addicted to a device and ADHD is rising Suicide has increased 200% for 10-14-year-olds in recent years We're not in a mental health crisis, we're in a mental management crisis Tony's experience with a bully growing up How to be a digital-first responder What should parents look for to keep their kids safe? We all need to learn how to manage our social media use Freedom of speech shouldn't apply to hurting other people for no reason How Tony forms his opinions based on research and not a knee-jerk reaction Kim's thoughts on “cancel culture” The algorithm is real - people just see what they want to see and get brainwashed How Tony identifies in politics Polarizing content gets attention and people fall into the trap - you have to be careful with what you consume Not controlling your emotions is a sign of weakness What Kim's nonprofit helps with Kim's “Digital For Good” event and how you can get involved to get visibility for your brand For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit: 365driven.com/episode269

Let me guess - you've had more referrals to the office centered around 'Social Media' than anything else? Am I Right? Well today we get to interview Kim Karr - she started #ICANHELP in 2011 after seeing the destructive power of online negativity firsthand. An anonymous user created a simple, yet destructive Facebook page targeting a teacher at her school. Over the next two weeks, one thousand students followed the page, with many commenting and fueling the fire. One student finally stepped up and reported the page, ending the school-wide drama. Kim took action to ensure nothing like that would ever happen at her school again. She developed an online safety and positivity program and trained students to become Digital First Responders. A year later, a similar page popped up and targeted the same teacher, only this time, the students were ready. Not only did no one follow the page, but over thirty students took action and left positive comments supporting the teacher. The page was taken down within 24 hours, a positive ending made possible through student education and empowerment.Since Kim and her Co-Founder Matt Soeth officially launched the nonprofit in 2013, #ICANHELP has trained thousands of students to be Digital First Responders. We're on a mission to empower students from around the world to use digital for good. CONNECT WITH KIM:WebsiteInstagramFacebookCONNECT WITH THINK KINDNESSWebsiteInstagramFacebook

Today's Episode with Kim Karr and Mitch Winterlin:Kim is the creator of #ICANHELP, an organization committed to empowering students to promote digital safety and help change how social media is used as a positive platform. Mitch is the public relations intern who is incredibly passionate about this organization and improving how social media is used. Social media has too often become a platform that feeds the need of comparison and mental illness. But, it can be brought back to a place of genuine connection. Every month, supporters come together and have serious and courageous conversations about what is important to them. Communities and schools see what #ICANHELP is doing to advocate for social media change and apply it to their own communities, spreading the messages.In order to build relationships with large social media platforms, they took the first step and sent a message to Twitter about their problem with the over-complicated process of reporting a harmful tweet. They replied to the message, was inspired by what #ICANHELP is doing, and made the changes needed.#ICANHELP is such a powerful organization because of the passionate students involved. Every student that joins has a different passion for helping problems that are important to them, making the organization incredibly diverse.What action steps can you take to limit your social media use? You can put your phone on do-not-disturb so that you check your phone only when you need to, set a social media time limit, or take a social media cleanse.Everyone can help! Mentors, students, schools, any communities can get involved! #ICANHELP has 8 committees, each with an adult mentor, who help the organization market their ideas and spread the word.Find out more about #ICANHELP at https://www.icanhelp.net/ and on social platforms @icanhelpofficial (Twitter @icanhelp)Kim's hot seat answers!

Are you interested in a more positive online experience? Have you been worried about your children and teens in the online space? In this episode, we dive into the power of social media, and our online communities, on teens and adults, on our socialization, mental health, and self-worth. In this episode, I talk with Malorie Bournazian & Kim Karr, Lead Intern + Co-Founder of #ICanHelp, an organization focused on empowering teens with a commonsense approach and not just protecting them. As an organization that was started by educators who experienced a rapid increase in social media use and the stress and anxiety that negative online behavior puts on school cultures. Today, we discuss how to turn our online experience into a positive one, and how to remove the toxicity and negativity we can often face online. We dive into why social media can cause anxiety and depression, but also some of the really good things that can be done online, and allow us to be even better. Questions I asked: How did you start I Can Help: Digital For Good? What if someone that follows me is just being negative? Can we have an open dialog on social media? What are your tips to dealing with negative people online who are clients? How do we get really bad accounts or people off social media? Can you remove reviews from your profile or business if they are fake, or spam? Malorie, can you tell us about your project which caused you to win the #DigitalForGood award? What got you into that topic for your project? How is teen suicide tied into social media? Can you tell us more ways we can be a solution to the problem? How can people help your organization? What do you say to people who think, “not one will listen to me due to my age?” Do you have any stories about bullying? How can people connect with you? Topics Discussed: Spam on social media. Dealing with negativity online. Social Media comparison. mental health online. Online bullying. Finding positive ways to use social media. Self-esteem. Teen suicide. Victor or Victim? Be part of the change. Quotes from the show: “It’s more about education, and that’s when we started educating people about social media use.” @icanhelp @SisterhoodSweat “There’s so many cool things that students are doing online, it’s not only just negativity.” @icanhelp @SisterhoodSweat “I saw the connection between human trafficking and social media.” @icanhelp @SisterhoodSweat “Seeing someone my age, who came from the same background deal with human trafficking, made me realize how many people are vulnerable.” @icanhelp @SisterhoodSweat “Suicide is the #2 cause of death for 10-20 year olds.” @icanhelp @SisterhoodSweat How you can stay in touch with Kim and Malorie: Website Instagram Facebook Snapchat Twitter How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas My daily energy stems from mushrooms... mushroom coffee that is!

Episode #34: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Kim Karr, she has taught Physical Education and Leadership at Excelsior Middle School in Byron, California, and was a very active member of the California Association of Directors of Activities. Her enthusiasm for life is infectious to students and adults alike. Kim has been recognized nationally for being an outstanding activities director. Having travelled to over 100 schools in the US and Canada in just the past year, she has inspired thousands of people to join the #ICANHELP movement in choosing to live a more positive life on and offline. As educators, we experience a rapid increase in social media use and the stress and anxiety that negative online behaviour puts on school cultures. She wanted to empower teens with a common-sense approach and not just protect them. Students have to be a part of the solution. When something happens on social media, students see it first. The more we can do to train, guide, and support students online, the more likely they are to take positive action. #ICANHELP's mission is to empower students and support educators to create stronger school communities who know how to use #Digital4Good. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/learningforward/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/learningforward/support

This is an unusual edition of not Pex Lives. We weren't able to get together and record your expected two hours plus of Dr Who related - tangentially Dr Who related - conversation because of, well, capitalism. Instead, what I've put together is somewhat akin to those Giant Annuals of comics you used to get as a kid, usually for Christmas. I thought the Pex Lives listenership might enjoy a little variety. With that in mind, I've got a conversation that Jack Graham, Kit Power, and Daniel Harper - who all of you know - had. It was unplanned and informal, just some friends shooting the breeze at half hour's notice. I've also got Gene Mayes and Kim Karr talking the first act of John Carpenter's career, from 1974 - 1981. A really good chat. Here's an article by Kit Power about the times that he talks about herein and the benefits of even a compromised Labour government over a Conservative one. http://gingernutsofhorror.com/my-life-in-horror/keep-it-up-son-take-a-look-a-what-you-could-have-won @thegenemayes @kimcreep @_Jack_Graham_ @kitgonzo @danieleharper @jmcm1916

Came across this nice activity last year at a national leadership conference with the National Association of Workshop Directors (NAWD) in North Carolina.
