amount of time that kids spend with media and how it may impact how they
make decisions, learn, and socialize. This presentation will give you an overview of today's new media
landscape, the impact that it has on kids (both the positives and the
unintended negative consequences), and most importantly, how you can
help kids be safe, smart, and responsible online.
