Children and adolescents spend hours each day in digital environments that are intentionally designed to maximize time on screens as well as incentivize specific behavior patterns that can be harmful to growing youth. From television programs to apps, games, and social media, much of digital media is created and structured with goals that are often at odds with children’s development and well-being. How do these design choices affect the way youth behave and develop?
Join Children and Screens for the next #AskTheExperts webinar, “Character by Design? How Digital Media Design Influences Youth,” on Tuesday, November 17 at 4:00pm ET on Zoom. Expert panelists will discuss how design decisions that shape the digital social and gaming experiences of children and adolescents can influence their sense of agency, well-being, and moral development.
Moderator and speaker details coming soon.
