Evaluation comments:
“Very useful for kids with new phones and how to use it safely.”
“Of course there is the excitement of a new phone- take pictures, send messages, etc. The book also gives advice on avoiding any drama or misunderstandings using the phone. Information about cyberbullying is given. Safe ways to post and share photos online and tips to use the phone in a healthy manner are given.”
“There are many tips such as asking a friend if their picture can be shared online before sharing. Also, that the tone of a message is difficult to know as it is only in writing-be careful with all capitol letters. This book is straightforward and easy to read. I especially like the part about balancing life- the need to read, rest, be with friends and sleep.”
