Download or read book Children Risk and Safety on the Internet written by Livingstone, Sonia and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As internet use is extending to younger children, there is an increasing need for research focus on the risks young users are experiencing, as well as the opportunities, and how they should cope. With expert contributions from diverse disciplines and a uniquely cross-national breadth, this timely book examines the prospect of enhanced opportunities for learning, creativity and communication set against the fear of cyberbullying, pornography and invaded privacy by both strangers and peers. Based on an impressive in-depth survey of 25,000 children carried out by the EU Kids Online network, it offers wholly new findings that extend previous research and counter both the optimistic and the pessimistic hype. It argues that, in the main, children are gaining the digital skills, coping strategies and social support they need to navigate this fast-changing terrain. But it also identifies the struggles they encounter, pinpointing those for whom harm can follow from risky online encounters. Each chapter presents new findings and analyses to inform both researchers and students in the social sciences and policy makers in government, industry or child welfare who are working to enhance children's digital experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the internet really transforming children and young people’s lives? Is the so-called ‘digital generation’ genuinely benefiting from exciting new opportunities? And, worryingly, facing new risks? This major new book by a leading researcher addresses these pressing questions. It deliberately avoids a techno-celebratory approach and, instead, interprets children’s everyday practices of internet use in relation to the complex and changing historical and cultural conditions of childhood in late modernity. Uniquely, Children and the Internet reveals the complex dynamic between online opportunities and online risks, exploring this in relation to much debated issues such as: Digital in/exclusion Learning and literacy Peer networking and privacy Civic participation Risk and harm Drawing on current theories of identity, development, education and participation, this book includes a refreshingly critical account of the challenging realities undermining the great expectations held out for the internet - from governments, teachers, parents and children themselves. It concludes with a forward-looking framework for policy and regulation designed to advance children’s rights to expression, connection and play online as well as offline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mom, what's the Internet?'Imagine yourself doing your monthly household budget one evening when your four-year-old daughter suddenly walks in asking you that. At that moment, you're busy trying to figure out why you've had more credits than debits on your balance sheet. You felt that your brain is about to short-circuit. And it's past her bedtime.'John Noah Mason Smith, you're forgetting that you're talking to a 60-year-old.'Your grandma calls you because she wants to learn how to use the Internet. You explain that it's not easy to teach that over the phone. It has to wait until you come over for Thanksgiving. She vehemently insists. You ask why. She tells you that she's heard about Tinder. And she wants her own account. Now.As you can imagine, explaining what social media is to a child or to a senior can, in itself, be challenging. How much more if you're asked to explain the Internet as a whole? Through this eBook, you'll encounter tons of metaphors that can help you do exactly that. From the seemingly out-of-this-world concept of the cloud, to how letter gets delivered without paper, to how a person's face ends up on a computer monitor, this eBook will showcase examples as models for explanation for the innocent young ones to the tenured baby boomer and Gen Xers. In the end, you'll realize that while you're aware of the technological gap that exists between generations, you won't really feel how significant that is until you're faced in a situation where you have to explain things to the unknowing.Now, please take note that not all of the discussions and examples offered in this eBook may be suitable for a child or a senior. Learning is still subjective and contextual so there may be times that you will be required to be creative.What this eBook intends to do is to just show you some metaphorical examples of how to answer those simple questions that are tough to answer if your audience is not technologically savvy like you.

Download or read book Parenting Internet Kids Domesticating Technologies written by Jaqueline McLeod Rogers and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting/Internet/Kids, with three key terms slashed together, conveys the idea that the practice of parenting may extend both to the Internet and to our children - to the extent that both require attention, care and forms of regulation, and, in turn, provide support and enjoyment. While the triadic title is somewhat playful, it also strikes a serious note and introduces layered possibilities: we are not simply raising children who have grown up in the internet age, but also Domesticating Technologies by "managing" the computer (relatively young in age, too, having established itself in homes in the 1980s). Including perspectives from scholars and parents living in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, the UK and the USA, the collection examines how the intimate presence of computer technology in our homes and on our bodies affects not only mothers and parenting, but family life more broadly
