This review is from: Frontline: Growing Up Online (DVD)

One of the most informative videos that deals with the positive and negative activity online. A great video to show young adults about the potential dangers as well. It is viewable online in a small viewer box at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/. Topics covered: Cyber Bullying, Child Preditors, Parent Involvement, socializing, and more.

This review is from: Frontline: Growing Up Online (DVD)

I have shared this DVD with 18 year-old students (French students learning English) and they all wrote passionate essays after viewing it. These essays should be read by their parents for the parents could learn something about their children. Some of the students have had computers since they were 5 years old. They have literally "grown up" online. The idea of parental control was repugnant to them. Even at a younger age, they could not be so easily duped (by predators, etc.) They found the parents in this DVD were over-exaggerating their concerns. They were insulted to think that parents would try and control their (the youth's) internet access, since the internet is their (the children's) world - and the parents know little about the Net. How dare the parents try and control something they know little about. Almost all students said this.
Will try and put their feedback online.

This review is from: Frontline: Growing Up Online (DVD)

The Frontline series tackles controversial issues and this one is no exception. I have purchased several titles from this series for the library. They may not be the most popular DVDs here, but for those who like non-fiction, newsworthy movies, or who want to watch something about a particular topic, they are great!
