How to increase data protection for children through media literacy
Category: Background
Media literacy and data protection in children play important roles in learning how to safely use digital media in everyday life. Especially nowadays, there is no getting around digital media for children. Rather, in times of home schooling and childcare, digital media have become opportunities and open up new possibilities. However, there is often little time between home office and home schooling or childcare to deal fully with media literacy and data protection for children. In the current blog post we would like to offer parents, teachers or school officials a source of inspiration and go into more detail on how they can improve data protection for children through media literacy. This blog post was written with the pedagogical support of a pedagogue (24) from Leipzig and therefore deals with pedagogical / psychological aspects as well as data protection and technical conditions.
