Kids Digital Media Savvy
A new poll shows U.S. parents know how important digital media skills are for their children.
Three out of four parents surveyed agreed that knowing how to navigate various digital media outlets is as beneficial to kids as mastering traditional skills chloroquine prices like reading, writing and math.
A full 67% of parents said they did not think the internet helped teach their kids to communicate more effectively; 87% of parents said they did not believe the internet helped their kids learn how to work with others; and 75% do not believe the web can teach kids to be responsible in their communities.
How important are these skills for children?
We are at the beginning of this revolution that has and will impact more areas in our lives with each passing year… Can we as parents really know how to direct our kids towards the more meaningful skills that will help them in the future?
I’m a nerd… and I can’t live without internet… but…
I think the internet and the fact that it’s so easy to fetch information from anywhere in the world may be a problem for our children. As it is easy to find good things, it is easy to find very bad things, and they actually find it.
I think that the way the things are exposed today through the media, movies, internet, …, is a criminal offence against our children.
It’s very hard to spend a day not seeing or hearing something that promotes “self-pleasure”, pornography or use of drugs, even when you are not looking for it.
Jesus has to come back soon… and I hope the people that promote this kind of stuff will be punished accordingly…
