La Dre Katie Davis étudie les manières complexes dont les nouvelles technologies médiatiques façonnent la vie personnelle, sociale et académique des jeunes. Son travail examine de manière critique l'intersection de la technologie et du développement de l'identité pendant l'adolescence et le début de l'âge adulte. Elle se consacre à jeter des ponts entre la recherche et la pratique, partageant ses réflexions avec les éducateurs, les parents et les décideurs politiques.
Katie Davis traveled to Uganda for a short mission trip over the Christmas break of her senior year in high school. She found herself so moved by the Ugandan people and their needs that she knew it was her calling to return to care for them. She is now in the process of adopting thirteen children there, and has established the ministry, Amazima, that cares for hundreds more. Here, she shares her story.
"Davis addresses the "screen time" debate by recognizing that children's experiences of technology and social relationships are qualitatively distinct at different stages of development"-- Provided by publisher
