| Abstract | "Moving the conversation about young children and digital technologies away beyond 'good' or 'bad', Edwards and Straker present an innovative perspective to educators, researchers and communities on how to support young children to learn and thrive safely in a digital society. This book marks a turning point in research concerning young children and technologies. Instead of focussing on the impacts of technology on children in ways that generate conflicting information, advice and opinions, this book centres on understanding how children live, learn and play in digital society, and how the adults in their lives can actively create opportunities that support them to participate safely so that they can thrive. Based on a groundbreaking research project in partnership with industry, this text showcases the development of well-designed end-user content and materials, such as videos, infographics and books, that best support young children and their adults living, learning and playing in digital society. It includes practical examples for early childhood educators and broader communities, such as ways to promote physical activity with digital technologies, support children with online safety, facilitate peer relationships using technologies, and engage in digital play for learning. For a closer look into the additional resources and support available, please visit https://youngchildrendigitalsociety.com.au/. A refreshing perspective on young children and digital technology, this book is set to become a foundational text for early childhood educators, policy makers and communities"-- Provided by publisher. |
