Teachers aren't necessarily well equipped as they may be just as ill-informed or simply not know about social media.

Yes, the advice given Is only as good as the knowledge of those who hand It out.

I do recall my schools teaching us to be "media smart" which was more focused on TV news and newspapers, but I've found it very much applies to social media as well. However, I know this kind of teaching was a rarity, and not a norm.

This actually sounds quite effective.

It's a shame many schools don't even bother covering a minority of It.
