Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Conference: Keynote: The Digital Worlds of Children

Children aged 10-13 years are in a state of transition in their technology use shifting from child user to more independent user and as a result are more vulnerable to online risk during this time. This talk will explore how factors such as online content and communications, digital habits, and social media engagement impact the safety and wellbeing of tweens and what this means for teachers and schools. Joanne will also discuss recent issues in the media regarding social media bans and delaying smartphone ownership
