CHILDREN AND THE INTERNET
Sonia Livingstone, LSE
Published June 2009 by Polity,
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.
