CHILDREN AND THE INTERNET
Sonia Livingstone, LSE
Published June 2009 by Polity, Cambridge

Children and the Internet reveals the complex dynamic between online opportunities and online risks, exploring this in relation to much debated issues such as:

·        Digital in/exclusion
·        Learning and literacy
·        Peer networking and privacy
·        Civic participation
·        Risk and harm

Drawing on current theories of identity, development, education and participation, this book includes a refreshingly critical account of the challenging realities undermining the great expectations held out for the internet - from governments, teachers, parents and children themselves. It concludes with a forward-looking framework for policy and regulation designed to advance children?s rights to expression, connection and play online as well as offline.
