It deliberately avoids a techno-celebratory approach and, instead, interprets children’s everyday practices of internet use in relation to the complex and changing historical and cultural conditions of childhood in late modernity. Uniquely, \u003ci\u003eChildren and the Internet\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the complex dynamic between online opportunities and online risks, exploring this in relation to much debated issues such as:\u003c\/p\u003e  *Digital in\/exclusion *Learning and literacy *Peer networking and privacy *Civic participation *Risk and harm  \u003cp\u003eDrawing on current theories of identity, development, education and participation, this book includes a refreshingly critical account of the challenging realities undermining the great expectations held out for the internet - from governments, teachers, parents and children themselves.
