Description
Are you a technology optimist or a technology pessimist?
The amount of technology available to children today is greater than in any previous generation, and it is more specifically designed to capture their imaginations. There is heated debate as to how the digital influx is shaping children's development and experience.
Introduction
Are social media changing the way that children form relationships? How is technology changing the way that children think, and how will it shape the classroom of the future? This exciting new free course pulls together the latest evidence from experts in the field to explore these and other questions. Join us as we delve into the lives of children and discuss the potential benefits and limitations of technology in their lives.Course Curriculum
