Screening of "Digital Nation" Documentary Produced by Fronline of PBS
Guest post by: Joy Howell, Board Member, Safe Internet Alliance
I just returned from the “Digital Nation” film screening sponsored by the Family Online Safety Institute at the National Cable Television Association theater. The film was produced by Frontline of PBS and underwritten by the Verizon Foundation. It was powerful and thought provoking, particularly in the research being done about multitasking and the impact on analytical thinking in kids. As we are migrating more and more of our lives online, it is even more important to make sure that we all understand the tools available for being safe and the choices we can make to enhance our own safety. Our goal is to help provide those resources so if you have resources or ideas that have been helpful, please let us know!
