Geoff Day :: Blog :: Safer Children in a Digital World

April 06, 2008

Came across this report in a Globe article - may be useful to anyone who feels some changes re. our perceptions of new technologies require research evidence to make others understand the impact of those devices on learning.

A taste:

Having considered the evidence I believe we need to move from a discussion about the
media ‘causing’ harm to one which focuses on children and young people, what they
bring to technology and how we can use our understanding of how they develop to
empower them to manage risks and make the digital world safer.

Enjoy! Safer Children in a Digital World

  2. I wonder if the title shouldn't be "Digital Children in a Safer World"?

     

    Thanks for sharing, Geoff.
