BCM241 – Final Report

INTRODUCTION Since my last blog, which you can read here I have developed and conducted an ethnographical research task which looks into children and screens.

BCM241 Part 2 – Screens & Children

This post is a follow up from my previous post that you can find here. In my last post, gave a mostly negative perspective of screens and children.
