The Educational Cyberplayground has a valuable page on this important subject. How to Keep Your Child Safe on the Interent <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/morestuff4.html> The message in NetGold includes links to and where appropriate excerpts from the following types of resources: Articles about parental awareness or oblivious behavior regarding their children's use of the internet Collections of privacy and other child internet use issues on websites of organizations and other sources concerned about safe and danger free use of the internet by children Statistical reports from Canada that quantify child internet use patterns Examples of the types of pages school districts are providing for parental guidance regarding safe internet use by children as well as pages from schools that accentuate the positive by providing safe and useful web resources for children to use for learning and entertainment. All of the above may be viewed in this NetGold message: ARTICLE: Parents 'Oblivious' to Children's Surfing AND Some Related Publications and Resources <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NetGold/message/368> NetGold as well has been and will continue to report on useful, educational, research and entertaining resources found on the internet and in published resources as well.
