"There are varied and mixed opinions about digital media. Often parents worry about issues like online bullying and inappropriate content, but these media can also be used in positive ways by children and adolescents. Digital and social media are a vast spectrum, with many different applications, and it's important to consider it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly. This book dispels some of the myths that surround young people's use of digital media, through practical tips and evidence-based research, and provides unique insights into young people's own perspectives. Covering a wide range of topics from safeguarding to digital citizenship, and from the role of schools to the fear of missing out, this book reveals informed ways in which digital media can be used beneficially by both children and adolescents."--Page 4 of cover.
