Parent Resources on Internet Safety for Children

Internet safety is a widespread topic that requires parents and educators working together to ensure students are safe while using the many aspects of the internet.  Having not grown up with this technology in our hands, the task can be overwhelming and confusing as to what our children are facing online. Here are two, of many, online parent resources to help you with your own education and how to frame conversations with your child(ren).

Internet Safety 101 is a comprehensive website that includes guides on navigating social media sites as well as cyber bullying, home monitoring software, and many more topics.
