To help you keep up with what’s going on with kids, families, schools, and technology, we’ve compiled a list of interesting stories our team’s been reading over the past week.  What have you been reading? Tell us below or Tweet @TrendISKF

• David Cameron’s ban on porn in the UK in the interest of children is met with criticism based on a review of other country’s attempts to choose censorship first
• Techcrunch also weighed in, calling the ban in the UK “ridiculous”
• NEW STUDY: In other news, a recent study shows young people increased the amount of media they consumed by more than one hour and a half to almost 7½ a day between 2004 and 2009, which means teaching kids to use the Internet safely and responsibly is more important than ever
• And lastly, is Facebook still hip with teens?  Facebook says yes, but a Pew Internet study says otherwise. A few perspectives:
  • Facebook Q2 earnings comments 
  • Pew study on Teens and Social Media

See you next week!
