REBOOT
Rethinking Ethical Behavior Online for (self) Ownership Together
The Ethics Institute's REBOOT program is a unique initiative led by students for students that empowers them to take charge of their digital lives. Informed by existing research on the negative impacts that social media and technology is having on children and teens, REBOOT aims to foster community-wide shifts in how students and families engage with technology. The program will provide a process for students to make data-informed and ethically-minded decisions to support their social and emotional well-being.
