“The Winston Learning Series”
Social Media Addiction: Is it real?
Presented by Ms. Renee Tondre-Garza, Academy for Teacher Excellence, UTSA
We live in an age of technological wonder, yet for many, the screen has become a source of stress and compulsion. This presentation explores the dual nature of digital technology, celebrating its benefits while confronting its darker side. We will analyze the scientific evidence behind the term 'social media addiction' and equip you with actionable strategies to help slow or stop this behavior and reclaim control.

All events hosted are free and open to the public and take place at
