Young Canadians in a Wired World – Phase II focus groups and the student survey that followed made it very clear that the Net has become an integral part of young Canadians’ social environment. Trends and Recommendations looks at the findings from both the qualitative and quantitative research to create a snapshot of that environment.
It explores what we’ve learned about the kinds of technologies young people are using, the ways in which those technologies shape their social experiences, and the challenges they encounter online. We conclude by looking at the role that parental supervision and rules and education can play in providing kids with the tools they need to wisely navigate the online environment.
