Beyond Remote-Controlled Childhood: Teaching Children in the Media Age

by Diane E. Levin

More and more of children's attitudes, values, interests, and behavior run the risk of being controlled by their experiences with the popular media culture and screens instead of being actively created by children themselves. That is, childhood is becoming increasingly remote controlled. Learn how to counteract the potentially harmful impact media can have on both the process and content of children's development and learning, and how to help families make informed decisions about the screen media in children's lives.

what I really did like was the QR code connecting resources

that aside, the surveys are not what I'd share with parents

I would like to see linkage where teachers could share materials electronically

not bad though

This book was really helpful in thinking about working with the media with our young child. This book is written for early educators, but it is helpful to parents too!
