GROWING UP DIGITAL...



The adolescent pre-teen I interviewed is a 12 year old African-American male named Jackson that lives in Washington D.C.  Jackson attends an accelerated High School in which a major part of their mission is to serve as a learning community where students undergo diverse, meaningful opportunities and experiences and receive a quality education.  He is also an active member of the Cub Scouts.  While it is said that students today are way too focused on their phones.  Jackson actually has a very nice balance.  He logs on to his favorite site Instagram daily and spends about 10-15 minutes checking it out.  It’s quite refreshing to see a pre-teen who has a balance with his social media use and is able to focus his time on other things.  Adults on the other hand could probably take a lesson from this.
