What Are Children Watching - and Learning - Online?

Young children now spend a significant portion of their screen time on streaming platforms like YouTube, where 500 hours of new content is uploaded every minute. With such a sprawling catalog, it can be difficult for parents, teachers, and researchers to understand just what children are watching and how it might affect them.

Children's media researcher Claire Christensen joins host Kori Hamilton Biagas to discuss APPROVE, an AI-powered tool designed to help teachers and parents identify valuable educational videos online. They discuss APPROVE's development and its potential applications for families hoping to make the most of their children's screen time.
