| Summary |
"Cyberkids: Children in the Information Age draws upon extensive research with teenagers at school and home to explore children's on-line and off-line identities, communities and sense of place in the world." "Stimulating and insightful, the book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, as well as academic debates about embodiment/disembodiment and 'real'/'virtual' worlds. It counters contemporary moral panics about the risk from dangerous strangers on-line, the corruption of innocence by adult-oriented material on the web and the addiction to life on the screen. Instead, Cyberkids shows how children use ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways and, in doing so, draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology."--Jacket. |
