Children today often spend significant time online, engaging in activities such as watching videos, playing games, and texting friends. It raises an important question: do they possess the necessary skills to critically evaluate the content they encounter? In response to this concern, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS) are hosting a free webinar. The session will introduce Youville, a resource developed by the FTC aimed at teaching kids about privacy and online safety, understanding advertising, identifying scams, and digital citizenship.
The webinar is scheduled for 2pm ET/1pm CT/11am PT.
