Suggestions for Parents • Take the time to see what your kids are doing online and what their interests are. • Let them teach you about the Internet. • Surf sites with them. • Help them assess the value and importance of the site. • Go over the rules of Safe Surfing. • Establish clear ground rules. • Post safety rules by the computer. • Go to www.safekids.com for a safety contract.
Tips for Safety On-line • Keep your computer in a place accessible by ALL family members. • Talk to you children about what they do on-line and where they go. • Stay involved with your children both on and off line. Being with them while they are online, at least when they are starting out, is a great way to spend time together and to make sure they understand what is safe. • Use filtering software. • Do not let the children have a e-mail account that you can not access. • Do not give your password to ANYONE, either in person or over internet. • Only use your credit card on web sites you feel comfortable that the number will be secure.

http://www.sjsites.com/internet http://www.sjsites.com These are WebPages that I have put together for K-6 students. I screen these sites and make sure that they are safe for our students. I update them as often as I can. I am constantly looking for wonderful websites and when I find one it is added to these pages. If a link that I feel is inappropriate is added to any of these pages, I will delete it from my webpage.
