Normalizing the internet
Dec. 24th, 2017 07:58 pmI'm ISO tech-themed books for toddlers to start Kit off on the right foot re... I guess "digital citizenship" is one phrase that works.
There are a million things about online safety and security, and those are good too. I mean more like... we're teaching Kit etiquette and social interaction rules and things, and I'd like some board books that normalize online interactions as well. We have board books about going to sleep, using the potty, body parts, gross things... Surely somewhere there's one about "my friend who lives far away" or "video chatting with gramma!" or "your feelings and being online".
Being online can be fun,
But don't forget to get some sun!
Go outside and move around
And make a bunch of silly sounds!
or
This is my Gramma!
She lives far, far away.
We see each other a lot, though.
That's because we use video chat!
I can show her my artwork,
and she can show me her doggies!
I love my Gramma.
I'm glad I get to see her a lot,
even though she lives far, far away.
or
My teacher wants to put up a paper sheet of where we all live.
Ha ha ha!
Displaying personally identifiable information insecurely is not okay!
(Maybe not that last one. (Maybe.))
