TIPS FOR TEENS

Teen Tech Tips

🎧 Tech-Savvy Teen Tips: Stay Smart Online! 💻

💬 Pause Before You Post: The internet never forgets — think twice before you hit “share!”
🔐 Lock It Down: Use strong passwords — your future self will thank you.
⚡ Don’t Click the Sketchy Stuff: If it looks sus, it probably is. Keep your device drama-free!
🕹️ Screen Time = Me Time (in Moderation): Too much scroll? Take a break — the real world’s pretty cool too.
💖 Spread Good Vibes Only: Be the reason someone smiles when they check their notifications.

Teen Literacy Tips

📖 Lit Up Your Literacy! 🔤

💡 Read What You Love: Comics, blogs, novels — if it’s got words, it counts! Reading anything builds your brainpower.
✍️ Write Your World: Journal, rap, text, or blog — your voice matters, so let those words flow.
🎧 Listen and Learn: Audiobooks and podcasts totally count — stories hit different when you hear them.
🔎 Word Nerd Power: Learn a new word each week and drop it casually — instant vocabulary flex!
🌍 Mix It Up: Try stories from different cultures or genres — adventure, mystery, fantasy, real life — keep it fresh!

Tech Tips for All Students

1. If you are having wi-fi issues with your laptop (or some other weird glitches), try to shut down your computer completely, then turn it back on. Over half the time, that fixes the issue and saves you a trip to the library. If it still doesn't work, please come to the library and we will be happy to help.

2. Leave your case on! If you take off the case, your warranty is void which means if anything breaks and the case is not on, you will have to pay for the damages. Also, our computer tech cannot fix your computer if the case is not on it. Keep those cases on, Aztecs!
