Kids for Sale: Online Privacy and Marketing

Organization

Media Awareness Network (MNet)

Published

2009

Summary

In 2000, MNet partnered with schools and libraries to create an extensive professional development Internet literacy program for teachers and librarians, called “Web Awareness Canada/La Toile et les jeunes”. The reach of the Web Awareness program is substantial, and one of its key components has been the development of a workshop and facilitator’s guide called “Kids for Sale: Online Privacy and Marketing.” The project for which MNet is obtaining funding will update both the workshop and the facilitator’s guide in light of the rapidly changing electronic landscape kids inhabit. The primary audiences for this project are elementary and secondary school teachers, as well as curriculum consultants and faculties of education.
