Giving Schools More Control Over Social Media

Ready to level up your school's social media game? 🚀 Instagram's teaming up with the education powerhouses ISTE + ASCD (that's Meta joining forces with the smart folks!) to give principals some serious content-zapping superpowers. This "School Partnership Program" lets schools flag the icky stuff linked to their grounds and get it reviewed pronto. After acing its pilot phase, it's going nationwide, aiming to create a much cooler and less drama-filled online scene for our schools. It's like the ultimate alliance for a better digital playground! 🤝✨
