Snapchat debuts new tools and resources for educators as school begins

Snap blogged in part:”More than 20 million teens in the U.S. use Snapchat, and we know their digital wellbeing is a top priority for adults in their lives, including parents and teachers. As teens head back to school, we’re launching new safety tools and resources created specifically for educators. These new resources were designed to help educators and school administrators understand how their students use Snapchat, the key protections available to students and schools, and the resources we offer to assist schools in their efforts to create safe and supportive environments for students.We know that Snapchat’s primary use case of messaging with friends makes people happy, and that friends are an important support system for young people. We’re focused on supporting these meaningful relationships, and equipping the adults in their lives with the tools and resources to do so as well.”
