Digital for Good

Raising Kids to Thrive in an Online World

By: Richard Culatta

Narrated by: Adam Verner

Technology can be a powerful tool for learning, for solving humanity's toughest problems, and for bringing us closer together. How can we raise healthy kids who know how to take advantage of the good technology can bring to their lives, while avoiding the bad?

It's time to start a new conversation. Digital for Good offers a refreshingly positive framework for preparing kids to be successful in a digital world - one that shifts the focus away from what kids shouldn't do and instead encourages them to use technology proactively and productively. EdTech expert Richard Culatta outlines five qualities every young person should develop in order to become a thriving, contributing member of the digital world:

• Be balanced: Understand when and how much tech use is healthy
• Stay informed: Be an active and discerning consumer of information online
• Be inclusive: Consider multiple viewpoints with respect
• Be engaged: Use tech to improve your relationships and your community
• Stay alert: Be aware of your actions online and create safe spaces for others

Parents and children alike will discover the path to becoming effective digital citizens, all while making our online world a better place.

Good content

Good suggestions that are easily put in to practice. Very helpful to parents. Good guide for my child

So many good ideas and perspectives

I feel better equipped to teach my children principles that will help them avoid the digit pitfalls that await them. This book gave me great ideas I want to implement with my kids. I want to teach them about ways to do good with technology, to regulate their screen time, to not be bystanders when cyber bullying is occurring. Chapter 3 was my favorite.

Required reading for all parents especially if you have young children!

The author provides great information about how to help parents navigate the use, balance of our digital world for children. He also gives practical tips and questions to teach children how to use the internet for good!
