The course aims at introducing future educators in the vast and complex normative system which has been enacted both at a EU level and at a supra-national level (in particular by the Council of Europe) to regulate information and communication technologies, in their various forms (mass media, social media and individual). As these technologies represent powerful and widespread instruments in individual development, starting already in pre-school age, they are growingly regulated, both for the protection of minors, and for their use in an educational context (violence, obscenity, advertisements, cyberbullying, hate-speech, sexting, etc.)
