Internet Safety for Kids

  • Article

Last night I presented to parents at my kids' school on the topic of "Internet Safety for Kids". This follows on from Jeff's great TechEd presentation last year, which in turn derives from the materials on Laura Chappell's great site.

  • Don’t be afraid of the technology
  • Don’t rely on the technology alone
