Description
This book is about how children's screen-based entertainment is affecting their development and how teachers and parents can help to improve their children's ICT skills.
This book is based on two years' in-depth research, funded by the British Film Institute and the British Library, on a hundred children with entertainment screen technology in their homes, following them home to school and examining the difference in culture in two environments. The question asked is:are children developing the necessary ICT and other skills required from the maturing learner as we approach the twenty-first century? Issues such as gender, parenting, violence, censorship and the educational consequences of their screen-based experiences are at the forefront of the book's coverage.
