Dr. Fastnacht shares his path from classroom teacher to leading the state’s largest district, and breaks down the trends schools are facing right now, including disappearing DMs, recurring TikTok challenges, group text drama that fuels bullying and anxiety, and off-campus content that quickly becomes a school issue. He explains why technology is not the enemy, but missing guardrails and training can leave students unprepared, comparing phone access to learning to drive with an adult in the passenger seat. You will also hear a student clip on red flags when strangers online get overly personal, plus practical guidance on repairing a digital footprint, apologizing publicly when a public post causes harm, and using AI in education with clear safeguards for privacy, accuracy, and critical thinking. The conversation closes with a reminder that keeping kids safe online works best when schools and families stay aligned, and when adults model communication that stays light, bright, and polite. 00:00 Think Twice Online 00:21 Podcast Intro 00:44 Meet Dr. Jeff Fastnacht 01:10 From Teacher to Superintendent 02:17 Digital Safety Mission 03:10 Nationwide Online Threats 04:43 Bismarck Reality Check 05:51 Phones as Driver Training 08:00 Screen Time Mental Health 10:58 Reputation and Apologies 12:53 Student Red Flags 14:15 SmartSocial Resources 15:43 AI in Schools Guardrails 17:42 Parents Schools Partnership 19:01 Final Tips and Wrap Up Become a Smart Social VIP (Very Informed Parents) Member: https://SmartSocial.com/vip District Leaders: Schedule a free phone consultation to get ideas on how to protect your students in your community https://smartsocial.com/partner Download the free Smart Social app: https://www.smartsocial.com/appdownload Learn about the top 190+ popular teen apps: https://smartsocial.com/app-guide-par...
