Internet Safety

In case you missed it, the Internet Safety class held this last Wednesday was quite fun. Of course, I taught it, so I might be a bit biased. Better ask one of the parents who attended!

The course covered Internet Safety as it applies to Social Networking. In other words, learning how kids express themselves on websites like MySpace and Facebook and how to make sure they use the right privacy settings and take precautions to avoid sharing too much information.

Here are some helpful links to Internet Safety information:
