I need your help again. Looking for parents with children who play video games. Could you fill in this quick questionnaire (5 mins max). Reshares appreciated. #journorequest docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@BRKeogh I'm also doing TotK shrines the same way I did BotW shrines - try for like 2 minutes, then copy a YouTube tutorial, get the blessing and get the hell out of there back to the fun stuff that doesn't hurt my brain 😆

New paper 📣 "It's about safety, not snooping: Parental Attitudes to Child Tracking Technologies and Geolocation Data" from our 2021 seed funding team @CoghSimon @JaneMavoa @nansenb 👏 @engunimelb @ArtsUnimelb

@tamaleaver @jennykennedy Thanks Tama!

In the first post in a blog series on children’s online privacy, our researchers look at laws protecting information privacy in Australia & ask whether better protections are particularly needed for children. @BecTheCyborg @suebennett_edu @andy_xzhao digitalchild.org.au/blog/why-shoul…

@KateMannell Tell me about it!! 😬

Have spent most of today reading 90s/00s literature about media effects on children (including debates about the validity of effects approaches) and wowee, we have not come very far. Sub out "video nasties" for "screen time" & we are having all the exact same conversations

Many Australian families experience digital poverty. We’ve released interim findings from our ARC Linkage project for #GetOnlineWeek & #AntiPovertyWeek showing families are struggling to stay in touch with digital technologies, particularly for education. research.qut.edu.au/dmrc/projects/…

Prompting discussion about the need for tech regulation is great - doing it without alarmist tropes would be even better. Here’s me and ⁦@caitlinaithne⁩⁩ on a few of the questionable claims in Todd Sampson’s new doco: theconversation.com/todd-sampsons-…

Excited to be part of a panel @ 3pm today for #G4CAP as part of #MIGW22! @lucyamsparrow @benloveridge @SolangeGlasser & I will chat about ethical issues in VR. I'll raise some thorny issues around what happens when kids & adults share the same VR spaces 😬 g4capac.org

Alongside @SolangeGlasser @lucyamsparrow @JaneMavoa we'll be presenting a panel session on "The ethics of digital gaming and immersive technology" at 3pm Wednesday 5th Oct (AEDT). Part of our @CAIDE_UoM Art, AI and Digital Ethics project go.unimelb.edu.au/9bgi

🎉 Congratulations to Chief Investigator @lucipangrazio on being awarded a 2023 #DECRA! Luci's project will investigate how data collection, use & disclosure is experienced & understood in schools to inform policy, protocols & guidelines for data justice in schools.

Hi folks, I’m looking for an RA to work on a lit review project between now & the end of the year. An interest in digital media use or families/children would be ideal & need to be in Australia. If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, please get in touch! 🌱

Tough day to hustle for a spot on the newsfeed but here's @meese_james and I in The Conversation sharing some follow-up reckons about doomscrolling. Sometimes its fine but sometimes it's not, so we're sharing tips to help you curb the habit @ConversationEDU

✨New work ✨ from @tariqeden & I about the alternative social media platform Scuttlebutt. I’m so pleased about this piece coming out. It’s work we've spent years doing, squeezed in around finishing our PhDs & doing various jobs. Here’s a quick summary.. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…

Don't forget to join us this Thursday for a discussion on the technologies families use to track and trace each other 📡📲 @CoghSimon @JaneMavoa @nansenb and Prof Martin Gibbs. Thursday 2pm ONLINE events.unimelb.edu.au/CAIDE/event/15…

What technologies do you use to keep an eye on your kids? Our next AI in private spaces seminar is happening next Thursday 2pm ONLINE. Join @CoghSimon @JaneMavoa @nansenb and Professor Martin Gibbs @ArtsUnimelb @engunimelb @cis_unimelb events.unimelb.edu.au/CAIDE/event/15…

@tamaleaver @KateMannell @melbconnect @CAIDE_UoM @digitalchildau Oh no! Would've been great to have your input. There isn't a recording but if you're going to DCAM I can give you an overview then (if interested!)

I am presenting a seminar this Friday at 3pm giving an overview of children's #DataPrivacy and why privacy by design is the way to go when making tech that may be used by children. Please join online, or in person at @melbconnect @CAIDE_UoM @digitalchildau go.unimelb.edu.au/wy8e
