Internet Safety for the Community
Thanks to the Internet, our children have unprecedented access to the world's knowledge base. From a computer in a school library or on a kitchen table, today's student literally can access information virtually anywhere with a few keystrokes and an inexpensive modem. Through e-mail and discussion groups, children share hobbies and learn about different cultures in online communities of children around the world.
Our children will adopt what we call a Web Lifestyle, in which the Internet and its resources are a foundation of their life. Whether planning a vacation, scheduling automobile repair or attending a college class, they will depend on the Internet as we rely today on the telephone.
Yet like most communities, the Internet has its perils. Many parents and teachers would never consider allowing children to wander unaccompanied through the streets of a major city, and nor should they permit children unsupervised access to the Internet.
We believe that parents and educators are the appropriate arbiters of a child's Internet experience. We want to help you decide how to help your child have a pleasant travel through the online world, and to let you know that we are actively supporting you.
Please visit these sites, and if you find you need information that's missing, let us know. We want to be partners with you in ensuring your children adopt safe practices in use of this incredibly valuable medium.
