"It’s vital for parents to build and maintain a sense of openness and trust so young people can turn to them with questions, & share challenges they encounter online" https://t.co/yVjOefVT3b via @ConversationEDU Great article @tamaleaver

Have you noticed school social media often show “smiling, happy children, doing good things”? But what is the real value of sharing images, and are there unintended consequences? Our latest paper explores these questions @tiffani_apps @digitalchildau

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates associations between screen use contexts among children and cognitive and psychosocial outcomes.
A paper has reviewed the evidence on how screen use in children under six can impact behaviour and cognitive outcomes. The researchers say while #screentime is important, it’s not the only factor. @SumuduM3 @dylancliff_uow @UOWEarlyStart @normanswan

We can all do more to promote children’s rights to privacy online through modelling safe and respectful practices. In the Conversation we discuss current approaches to consent to publish in schools @tiffani_apps @digitalchildau @uowresearch
Parents and governments are already concerned about children's safety online – as part of this we need to look more closely at how students' images are being used by schools. @UOW
