I was recently on a panel presenting at the Social Media Summit held jointly by the premieres of New South Wales and South Australia. In a context of extreme concern about the so-called impact and effects of social media on children and young people and in a country such as Australia where there is considerable political impetus to impose forms of control and bands on young peoples use of an access to forms of digital media, I argued: We all -children and youth included-live in a totally digitally dominated wold. Young people’s informal learning ecologies show their abilities to leverage education, civic engagement, and digital citizenship. A good childhood in Australia would enable schools toto help students develop meaningful interactions in the world.
