Education : Computers & Technology

Young people who live most of their lives in the 21st century face dilemmas hardly experienced in the 20th century world: the rapid compression of space and time; an unprecedented rate of cultural and technological change; the dissolution of many traditional boundaries. Already, children live in a world unknown to us in our childhood – they ‘surf the net’, play virtual games and interact with cyberspace. What skills are required to help children navigate these very different spaces? How do they construct their identity and sense of place? How can educators bring order to their experiences and promote learning for the future? The Child’s World strives to answer these questions and more. Drawing on contributions from educators worldwide, it incorporates recent research and case studies to provide insight into how children interact with the world around them, and how this understanding can be used to improve learning. more...

A click of a mouse seems so harmless, but how do you know what you are really tapping into on the other side or who is really tapping into you? Who says it is acceptable or safe to welcome millions of strangers into the comfort and privacy of your own home? Despite startling facts and statistics reported by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, families and children still believe the myth, “Yes, people are at risk online, but not me or my child because . . .” Every “because” statement turned out to be false for the children and families who were completely blindsided when they were invaded, victimized, and traumatized by online crime. Not one victim knew what he/she was up against until after the assault. Today’s families can no longer afford to subscribe to the ostrich syndrome. You may have your head in the sand, but the predators, pedophiles, hackers, scammers, and other strangers have an absolutely clear view of you. The numbers are alarming enough. Why wait to become a statistic? Empower yourself now! Learn how to reap the benefits of the internet while reducing the risks using a family based, non-technical approach. more...
