Mobile Learning Mindset: The Parent’s Guide to Supporting Digital Age Learners offers guidance for parents facing the challenges that accompany mobile devices, including concerns about screen time, cyberbullying and digital footprints.

The six-book Mobile Learning Mindset series shares practical knowledge and strategies for successful implementation of K-12 BYOD programs and 1:1 initiatives. The collection provides district leaders, principals, teachers, IT staff, educational coaches and parents with the information they need to make any mobile learning program a success.

This book provides advice, tools and scenarios that parents can use with their children to:

• Maintain digital wellness.
• Use social media safely and respectfully.
• Establish household guidelines.

This fifth book in the series focuses on educating parents on the ins and outs of having mobile devices in the home. Addressing concerns about social media and more, this book serves as an instruction manual of sorts for parents raising kids in the digital age.

Audience: K-12 parents
