New ‘Privacy Toolkit’ for youth, co-created with youth

December 11, 2019 By Anne Leave a Comment

Privacy Toolkit module

“What do children know, and want to know, about where their data goes?” is the all-important question that leads the Children’s Data & Privacy Online project’s blog post about its just-released report. I say “all-important” because it’s a fundamental right of children to form and express their views on matters that affect them (see Article 12 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the … [Read more...] about New ‘Privacy Toolkit’ for youth, co-created with youth

Safer Internet Day 2019: Risk vs harm, online & offline

February 5, 2019 By Anne 1 Comment

What better way to mark Safer Internet Day than with clarity on the difference between risk and harm? Because, where online safety's concerned, the two words have been used interchangeably – inaccurately – for years. It was EU Kids Online, after surveys of more than 25,000 9-16 year-olds across Europe, that first made the distinction, reporting that, "as with riding a bike or crossing the road, … [Read more...] about Safer Internet Day 2019: Risk vs harm, online & offline

Most kids under 3 use tablets daily: Study

January 4, 2017 By Anne 1 Comment

Very young tablet users

Just under 100% of UK families own at least one touchscreen device, and 97.5% own multiple such devices – some of those families as many as 14 tablets or smartphones. So it's not too surprising that the same study at the University of London found that more than half of the UK's littlest citizens (6-11 month-olds) use a touchscreen device on a daily basis (for nearly 9 min./day), and 92% of its … [Read more...] about Most kids under 3 use tablets daily: Study

Learning about ‘The Class’: Researchers on their year in middle school

July 7, 2016 By Anne 2 Comments

Book cover of The Class

There is no way a book about spending a year in the life of a middle school class – its 28 students' home, school and digital experiences – could be reduced to a single theme. But one main takeaway from The Class, by UK researchers Sonia Livingstone and Julian Sefton-Green, may surprise and sound familiar at the same time: the old saying that "the more things change, the more they stay the … [Read more...] about Learning about ‘The Class’: Researchers on their year in middle school

Pan-European survey of 25,000 kids

January 25, 2011 By Anne 1 Comment

A just-released survey of more than 25,000 9-to-16-year-olds (and one of each child's parents) in 25 European countries recommends that Internet companies "provide more ways for children to block, filter or report alarming online content and contacts," yet only a little over a quarter (28%) of families surveyed actually use such tech tools. According to the study's press release, the findings … [Read more...] about Pan-European survey of 25,000 kids
