LIKE explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain and on learning. Understanding that virtual connection is a huge part of our socialization and can have many benefits, how do we use it to best inform, educate and inspire us to self-regulate, so we can enjoy a more balanced and fulfilled life?

Hopeful in tone, LIKE provides a dynamic learning opportunity for engagement by weaving in the stories and reflections of young people, their families and the perspectives of both brain scientists, mental health experts and tech creators, who explain how our online behavior is affected by algorithms, from being compelled to respond to notifications, to manipulating ourselves to gain more 'likes'. It introduces JOMO - the Joy Of Missing Out, along with simple tips for creating a healthier relationship with our devices. Subtitled into multiple languages, it has been licensed to communities throughout the world and is a powerful bridging and teaching tool.
