Get with IT: A Parents' Guide to New Media

This publication, developed by Ireland's Internet Advisory Board (IAB) as part of the Get with IT initiative, was designed to be a parents' guide to new media, to help build understanding and sharing of new media technologies between parents and children. It aims to give parents an overview of what some of the new technologies are, and how they function. It explains both how new technologies can be a fun, creative vehicle for young people to learn and communicate with, as well as offers some suggestions about the potential dangers that these technologies may pose.

The booklet also answers common questions that parents ask, and provides an A-Z glossary of new media technology and content. The final section offers ideas for further help and information such as useful websites, recommended software, and agencies that may offer additional advice.
