  25. Home Internet Security? • How strong is your computer security at home? • Is your Antivirus current? Are your Microsoft updates being installed on a regular basis? Check the settings on your computer. • What about your internet security at your home? • How often do you change your online passwords? Should be quarterly or monthly. • Is your wireless router secured? Are you using the default router password rather than the one of your own? You want to use your own password. • Is your password something to do with you or something totally random? Most folks use something about themselves. Should use random. • Do you click on website links in an email from unknown email senders? Or even from known folks? Doing this can cause fraud and infections.

  26. Home Content Filtering? • Do you know where your children have been on the internet? Which websites? • Does your child have social networking accounts such as Facebook , MySpace and now GooglePlus? • How much information have you put out on Facebook or Myspace or any other online account? • Do your children have access to inappropriate material for their age group? • You can and do have access for limiting exposure to inappropriate internet material and websites.

  27. Home Content Filtering Solutions • Parents may consider installing a content filter on their home computers. These services can filter and/or monitor the Internet sites your children are visiting. While filters do not replace parental supervision, they may help parents keep their children safer on-line. • The following resources may be helpful for parents to explore: • OpenDNS - www.opendns.com (free) – content filtering for home computers/networks • K9 Web Protection - www.k9webprotection.com (free) – content filtering for home computers and mobile devices (recommended by The National Parenting Center and iParenting Media) • E-Blaster - http://www.spectorsoft.com/products/eBlaster_Windows/index.asp ($100) - monitoring solution for parents, also version for Blackberry and Android mobile devices (recommended by iParenting Media, Parry Aftab – WiredSafety.org, Dr. Justin Patchin – Cyber Bully expert) • Net Nanny - http://www.netnanny.com ($40) – content filtering for home computers (recommended by iParenting Media, Scholastic Administrator, PC Magazine) • bSecure – http://www.bsecure.com ($50) – content filtering for home computers and any other device on the home network such as video games, smartphones, etc.  Also has iPhone/iPad version available.  (recommended by iParenting Media, Focus on the Family, American Family Association) • PureSight – http://www.puresight.com ($60/yr) – pornography, cyberbullying and other offensive content protection (no recommendations) • For more information, we suggest reading a great article titled “5 Steps to a Family-Safe Internet” from Wired Magazine available at http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/09/one-geekdads-internet-filtering/. • This list has been provided for your convenience, but we do not officially endorse any of these products, nor do we offer tech support on home machines.

  28. AlertNow Automated Calling & Emailing • Very important that phone numbers & email addresses are kept up-to-date • Has been in use for over 2 years now • Uses have been mainly for emergency closings or situations. • This year we have been widening its use to include building & district related events such as this one tonight.

  29. School Surveys - Online • Have been using online instead of paper for 2-3 years for some surveys. • Beginning to migrate all surveys to electronic where the links are posted on the District website. • Will be used in the upcoming Parent/Teacher conferences instead of the paper surveys. • This is a great communication and feedback tool as all responses are anonymous. • Results are tabulated instantly as soon as the ‘submit’ button has been pressed.

  30. Parental Educational Resources • Sandwich District Website • Your child’s school website • Edline, your child’s Edline class website for homework, grades, other resource links. • Google, Yahoo, etc .. An excellent search tool for most any subject.
