Smart, Safe & Social
The website Smart, Safe & Social: Teaching Kids How to Shine Online provides videos giving demonstrations of apps that tweens and teens are using today. These videos show you how an app is sold, used, and it points out the positive and negative aspects of each, including some danger zones that should be avoided. This resource is a good start to becoming educated about tweens and teens "cyber-life".
Media Smarts: Young Canadians in a Wired World Phase III
This report is drawn from a national survey of Canadian youth conducted by MediaSmarts in 2013. The classroom-based survey of 5,436 students in grades 4 through 11, in every province and territory, examined the role of networked technologies in young people’s lives. Life Online (the first in a series of reports from the survey) focuses on what youth are doing online, what sites they’re going to, their attitudes towards online safety, household rules on Internet use and unplugging from digital technologies.
