Children’s changing online experiences change. This report shows that: § Internet diffusion is linked to specific patterns of uses and experiences. On average, children in “advanced” countries go online earlier, use a broader range of online services, are more skilled in safer internet and, nevertheless, are more at risk. § Society’s appropriation of the internet and mobile technologies is far from synchronous across Europe. § Longitudinal findings question any assumption of a linear process by which children might become increasingly skilled and resilient in their use of online media. Recently announced § European Evidence Database - now extended and updated to contain information about 1500 studies relating to children’s internet use in Europe; entries are categorised by country, date of fieldwork, ages of children studied, main findings, methodology and more; you can search on multiple keywords to find studies of interest to you, along with English- language summaries of studies published in other languages. § Review of the European Evidence Database: reviews the 1500 studies in the database, 400 of which are new. The review reveals key research gaps – in use of the internet by very young children, the potential and actual benefits of internet use, how children react to risk experiences and the evaluation of safety practices or tools designed to support them. § Hear from the researchers. Here’s a video wall of researchers from our network discussing EU Kids Online findings about children’s online experiences from 32 countries and in most languages.
