"This Isn't Kansas, Toto." Living in the New, Digital World: Lessons for Adults and Children

"This isn't Kansas, Toto." - Living in the new, digital world:
Lessons for Adults and children

Course Description:  The digital world is here to stay, and while it is capable of offering information and opportunities previously unavailable to most of us, that capability is a double-edged sword. Information that is false can be passed off as truth; comments that are mere opinions can appear to be facts; websites that are inappropriate for anyone can be accessed by the youngest or most vulnerable; persons who appear to be peers on social media can be predators; humiliating social media posts can lead the most susceptible to harming themselves.
