OER Textbook on Technology and Families

[Jennifer Paris]

I am not sure what class to add this to, so I figured I would start a new thread as it may be used across different courses.

Hi Jennifer,

In Child, Family, and Community I do a unit on the media - primarily to talk about socialization and all of the stereotypes children are exposed to. In Principles and Practices, use of age-appropriate technology is covered briefly. Can I find this new resource in LibreTexts?

Thank you and be well,

Nadiyah (Las Positas College)

“The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. ”
