SOS! the technology guidebook for parents of tweens & teens : get the answers you need, keep them safe and enjoy your kids again / by Gould, Sheryl(Parenting expert),author.(CARDINAL)869362;
Includes bibliographical references.SOS! The Technology Guidebook for Parents of Tweens and Teens is Sheryl Gould's guidebook for parents who seek to keep their children safe online--away from inappropriate content, strangers, and cyberbullying--by equipping them to have the important conversations. With over fifteen years of experience coaching parents and working with families, Sheryl Gould understands how overwhelming and stressful it can be to monitor a child's internet usage for their safety and mental wellbeing. She created the organization Moms of Tweens and Teens as a way to support parents as they implement effective parenting strategies and reconnect with their children. In SOS! The Technology Guidebook for Parents of Tweens and Teens, Gould's approach works through common conflicts about screen time as it leads parents away from nagging and arguing with their children and creates more opportunities for 'face-to-face time.

Technology's child : digital media's role in the ages and stages of growing up / by Davis, Katie(Assistant professor),author.(CARDINAL)404136;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology--ubiquitous in the world they inhabit--becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book Technology's Child brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology's role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children's individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology--one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily--supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support. Children's experiences with technology--their "screen time" and digital social relationships--have become an inescapable aspect of growing up. This book, for the first time, identifies the qualitative distinctions between different ages and stages of this engagement, and offers invaluable guidance for parents and teachers navigating the digital landscape, and for technology designers charting the way.

Help them create it. When it comes to raising children in a digital world, every parent feels underprepared and overwhelmed. We worry that our children will become addicted to online games, be victims of cyberbullying, or get lost down the rabbit hole of social media. We tell them time and again what not to do and list dangers to avoid when online. But this is only a piece of the story. Technology can be a powerful tool for learning, for solving humanity's toughest problems, and for bringing us closer together. How can we raise healthy kids who know how to take advantage of the good technology can bring to their lives, while avoiding the bad? It's time to start a new conversation. Digital for Good offers a refreshingly positive framework for preparing kids to be successful in a digital world--one that shifts the focus away from what kids shouldn't do and instead encourages them to use technology proactively and productively. EdTech expert Richard Culatta outlines five qualities every young person should develop in order to become a thriving, contributing member of the digital world: Be balanced: understand when and how much tech use is healthy/ Stay informed: be an active and discerning consumer of information online; Be inclusive: consider multiple viewpoints with respect; Be engaged: use tech to improve your relationships and your community; Stay alert: be aware of your actions online and create safe spaces for others. Parents and children alike will discover the path to becoming effective digital citizens, all while making our online world a better place"--

Redefining geek : bias and the five hidden habits of tech-savvy teens / by Puckett, Cassidy,Author(DLC)no2021091878;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-308) and index.Introduction: Why Are Some People So Good with Technology? -- Why Does Digital Inequality Persist? -- What Helps People Learn: Three General Technology Learning Habits -- Techie Tricks: The Two Technology-Specific Habits -- Recognizing the Five Habits: The Digital Adaptability Scale -- The Five Habits, Teens' Futures, and Digital Inequality -- Tackling Digital Inequality: Gatekeepers -- Conclusion: Envisioning an Equitable Future."Take a moment to imagine a geek. A computer geek. Do you see thick glasses and pocket protectors? A face illuminated by a glowing screen, surrounded by empty cans of energy drinks? Bill Gates? Whatever trope comes to mind, it's likely a white or Asian man. As Cassidy Puckett shows in Define Geek, these are not just innocent assumptions. They are tied to underlying ideas about who is "naturally" good at tech, and they keep many would be techies, particularly girls and people of color, from achieving or even pursuing opportunities in tech. But Puckett is not just here to show us that anybody can be good at tech; she tells us how we can get there. Puckett spent six years teaching technology classes to first generation, low-income middle school students in Oakland, California, and during that time, she uncovered five technology learning habits that will set up all young people for success. She shows how to measure and build these habits, and she demonstrates that many teens currently unrepresented in STEM already use these habits; they are more ready for advanced technological skill development than assumptions about instinct might suggest. Redefining "instinct" reframes the goals of STEM education and challenges our stereotypes about "natural" technological ability. Our so-called leaky STEM pipeline is readily addressed by Puckett's five techie habits of mind"--.

Be the parent, please : stop banning seesaws and start banning Snapchat : strategies for solving the real parenting problems / by Riley, Naomi Schaefer,author.(CARDINAL)468839;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-240) and index.Introduction: Screen time -- What we don't know can't hurt us -- Babies aren't meant to be Einsteins -- Are you preparing your child for school or Las Vegas? -- Drop the call... and the phone while you are at it -- The price of internet access is eternal vigilance -- Think American education can't get worse? Put iPads in the classroom -- Just say no -- Less technology, more independence."Screens are seductive. We see it in our toddlers, begging for tablets. We see it in our pre-teens, leading double lives on Tumblr. We see it in ourselves, too, as much of our time gets sucked into news feeds and emails. From a parenting vantage, technology has been the holy grail, allowing us to outsource the unpleasant tasks and give ourselves a break. No clean-up after painting when it's done on a tablet. No complaints of "I'm bored" on a road trip when there's a game-loaded smartphone. No screams when you have to take a call if the kids are absorbed in a screen rather than running around the house. But, as many parents have guessed from their distracted, sedentary, and incessantly anxious-about-what-might-be-going-on-without-them kids, there some things you just can't out-source: you have to be the parent."--Book jacket
