One of the most interested presentation to me is “The Effect of New Media on Young Children” presented by Amy. She talked about the impact of new media on young children. Many people might not realize that the “new media” are really playing a big impact on kids. As Amy said, there are many TV programs or show for the kids such as: Disney channel, discovery channel and national geographic, kid nation (Survivor version for kids), and many more. These created the diversity, entertaining and also educational at the same time. Now, there are many electronic toys or online activities for kids which they can collaborate and improve their skills (reading, writing, spelling, and math). Amy also talked about the laws that protect the kids under age of 13 (CPAT).
Amy did a really good job on her presentation. It has a lot of information. The presentation really makes me think that I am overlooking the new media. I personally think that new media has more negative than the positive effects on kids. However, after Amy’s presentation, I learned that kids can learn a lot from new media. Games are not only waste the time but also can improve the skills (if they are playing the right one). For me, her presentation went very fast because I enjoyed from what I learned.
New media can give both positive and negative effects of young children that we might not realize it.
