Description
In this vital and timely book, Dr Bex Lewis shows us how to empower young people to get the best out of new technology and to avoid it’s dangers. For most parents, teachers and youth workers, getting to grips with new technology is a huge challenge – Twitter, Facebook, blogging, chat rooms, email, the internet and beyond – and as technology changes and young people grasp it faster than the older generations do, it can be a real struggle to know what to do to help, equip and defend. This is an important and timely book: Keeping our children safe is of critical importance and a huge source of concern for many. Dr. Bex Lewis shows us how.
