Online Safety Primers

Hi,

A reminder as we practice fire alarms, coach safe practices and (in my case) use the blast shield that a variety of resources exist to teach and learn about online safety for children. Google has begun its "Family Safety Centre" (http://www.google.com/familysafety/), and Microsoft has both its Windows Live Family Safety (http://explore.live.com/windows-live-family-safety) and its Virus, Spyware & Malware Protection (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/). Whether or not you use any of the services, reading and learning about online safety is another facet of keeping our kids safe. Many of the educational videos do focus and use examples of younger children, but the ideas and concept discussed are appropriate to any age.

I probably should get back to work.

Regards,
