What is the one thing kids today can’t live without?
Where this question may once have elicited a one word response, today it might land a 3-way tie between a cell phone, some sort of digital music player, and the Internet. Students in schools have grown up in a digital world where computers, the Internet and electronic media are parts of their daily routines. Children, especially adolescents and teens, spend an enormous amount of time on computers that isn’t just relegated to learning anymore. While ten years ago kids were mainly on computers to write papers, conduct learning exercises and write the occasional email, today they use computers talk to friends and meet new people via a MySpace or Facebook account. The issues that will be addressed during this year’s 14th Annual Institute for Psychology in the Schools will focus on how kids use technology and what complexities may arise when providing psychological services to kids in this digital age.
