Driver's Training for Social Media
We are in the largest worldwide communications shift (scope, speed, and impact) in human history and we haven't had guidance or training… until now.
If you want a roadmap for this uncharted online world, less screen time, more quality offline time, preparation for a lifetime of digital communication, and a media plan that works… this online course is for you.
What to Expect
We peek behind the curtains that tech companies exploit to keep us glued to screens, and we wrap years of news and resources into one comprehensive online course… to take back the driver’s seat.
Whether you go through this solo or with family, you will learn how to navigate the digital world safely, track screen time, avoid online traps, and create the one plan you can’t live without… a media plan.
The Goals of the Course
Know Your Vehicle... Social media is bigger than YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. It's any website, platform, game, or app that offers user interaction. Strengthen your digital literacy and know what you’re up against.
Find Your Compass... Discover the advantages and limitations of digital communication and how it impacts real world relationships. Learn how to view everything you produce or consume online as an investment.
Choose Your Path... Take back the time lost endlessly scrolling online by creating a media plan. With family, you’ll make a plan together, where everyone follows the rules they helped create.
