Trust and Connection in Digital Spaces: From Homes to Classrooms

In a digital world, trust and connection impact how humans interact, learn, and build relationships. From the intimacy of family relationships to the structured environments of classrooms, online spaces shape communication in ways that blur personal and public boundaries. As families rely on technology to stay connected and educators integrate digital tools into learning, questions emerge about authenticity, safety, and meaningful engagement. Understanding how trust is established and challenged in these virtual settings may foster connections that support emotional well-being and effective learning. Trust and Connection in Digital Spaces: From Homes to Classrooms explores how trust and connection are built, maintained, and challenged in digital environments across home and classroom settings. It examines the challenges and opportunities technology creates for communication, relationships, and engagement, in balancing authenticity, safety, and collaboration. This book covers topics such as psychology, virtual technology, and family studies, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
