Click, Swipe, Learn: Skills for the Digital World (a True Book: Our Digital World)

How can kids use the internet smartly? Discover it with this step-by-step guide for young readers.

Kids spend about five hours a day connecting with digital content--consuming it and/or creating it. Some of that content might include misinformation and altered images. It may even promote biases or dangerous ideas. Creating content includes pitfalls too--from copyright infringement to posting information that could be harmful or damaging. That’s why digital literacy is so important. Click, Swipe, Learn: Skills for the Digital World uses engaging, interactive text--including critical-thinking questions--to show kids exactly what they need to watch out for as they navigate the digital world.
