Internet Safety

This is a wonderful resource for parents on internet safety. There are online tutorials for parents regarding MySpace including how to set up a MySpace page corretly and safely. There is a Parent Resource Center (found on the upper left hand corner of the home page) and videos on all aspects of internet safety for different age groups. The Cyberbullying video is excellent.
