Challenge: take advantage
of apps without being
programmed by them.

“The emergence of an “app”
culture allows individuals
readily to enact superﬁcial
aspects of identity, intimacy,
and imagination.”
Gardner & Davis
“The App Generation”

“the app
worldview
shapes and
perhaps
constrains the
ways in which
the chief
challenges of
youth are
negotiated.”
Gardner & Davis

*

“Apps and the app mentality in
many ways support and
reinforce youth’s general shift
toward risk aversion.”
Gardner & Davis

*

“More and more young people
are app-dependent than appenabled.”

Gardner & Davis

*

“today’s young people
“talk global, but act local.”
Rather the try to use the
language of the country
being visited, it’s much
easier just to activate a
translation app.”
Gardner & Davis

*

“Epitomizing the purpose
of the app, we’re more
focused on doing than on
being.”
Gardner and Davis (2013)
The App Generation

*

“Parents are unwittingly promoting
passivity among their children and
preventing them from developing a
secure sense of autonomy and
from taking unsanctioned but
reasonable risks.”
Gardner & Davis

*

“The public’s fear of the internet
does seem to be restricting
children’s online opportunities and,
therefore, their life chances in the
long term.”
Sonia Livingstone
EU Kids Online Researcher

*

Private Equity

*

“Not all youth are equally at risk
online...a child’s psychosocial
makeup and home and school
environments are better predictors
of online risk than any technology a
child uses”
Larry Magid
Internet Safety Technical Task Force, Harvard Berkman Center

*

“Pundits may be asking if the
Internet is bad for our children’s
mental development, but the
better question is whether the
form of learning and knowledgemaking we are instilling in our
children is useful to their future.”
Cathy N. Davidson
Co-director of the annual MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competitions

Someone hacked into my
son’s school email account
and sent a mean message to
his girl-friend. How can we
help our son?
What could we do if this was
not a school account?

Annie saw some girls bullying
Jane at school and she
reported this to her teacher.
By the time she came home
she had 30 angry posts on
Facebook and more angry
messages on her phone.
Most of the messages were
anonymous. Some appeared
to be from strangers. How
could we have helped Annie?

Q.

My child posted a video on
YouTube that got a lot of mean

recover?

Q.
Think.Pair.Share

A girl at my child’s school sent
her best friend a sexy photo of
herself on instagram, and she
sent it around to the entire
school. Now everyone is
saying she's a slut. My
daughter thinks what she did
is wrong, but she feels bad for
her. What should I tell my
daughter? How should I
handle this?
