I have several presentations available based on internet safety for your kids and would love to present to your group, school or organization. I can present to kids or parents or both. Please contact me here if you would like more information.
The presentations are based on a number of different resources that can be found below. There’s so much information out there on this topic that it’s hard to go through it all. But, I’ve tried to find some of the best. I’ve found that keeping your kids safe online and with their cell phones boils down to 2 main points.
- Internet Safety is more about your relationship with your children, than about the technology.
- Internet Safety is also about knowing as much or more than your kids do about the internet.
I was also able to gather some very good links to many online resources.
