Media and Children

Hello my lovely friends,

Today I'm going to share with you of how Media affects Children in their growing up.

Social Media especially has a huge influence in children's through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger, and many more. They too are given their own iPhone's and iPad's to use WhatsApp and WeChat to communicate with their friends. Children these days have all the excess to these websites and way more advance than I was at their age.



As you can see how children are very well versed in ICT these days in watching movies and listening to songs that they search using YouTube and they are very well equipped with these materials in the palm of their hands.
Through my experience with children the media has a HUGE effect on the children's life especially movies as we can see now the latest Disney movie FROZEN  has made a HUGE impact into every child of various ages and adults life through the story and songs from the movie. Here is an example of how the children reacted towards this movie....


As you can see from this video above how ICT is being exposed to children and how it gives opportunities to speak up and share their thoughts of their learning. 
The media may have their pros and cons to it but when I saw this video it made me think twice on what ICT media can do to benefit the children in their learning and all it takes is the adults on being responsible in how they expose the ICT media to the children under their care.

Thank you for reading,
Abigail
