GROWING UP DIGITAL: Kids, Commercialism & New Media Culture

This one-day conference at the beautiful Rock Point School on the shores of Lake Champlain in Burlington is ideal for teachers and parents who want to learn the anguage of new media and how to distinguish credible sources of news and information. Conference attendees will gather the tools necessary to help children grow from passive consumers to active thinkers.
