Internet Safety: What can I do?

After reading and viewing sources on internet safety I talked to my mom about the topic. She was very aware of the dangers of the internet and had set up her home in a way that promotes internet saftey. She talked about how she beleives it is very important to keep the computer in a high traffic area, so it is visible to many. She felt it was importance of being aware of the dangers of the internet and teaching children to aviod them. I had a very postive experience talking to my mom and many of her views and methods of internet safety were similar to what I had read.

She also recognized it is a serious issue and I shared a source providing docutmentaries on internet safety with her. The url is,

This expereince has helped me become more aware of the dangers of the internet and I feel that I have gained a lot of valuable information. Other sources that I found valuable were, http://www.netsmartz.org/resources/reallife.htm and

If you get a chance visit them and share them with others too!

A great artcile on internet safety can be found on lds.org, it is Let our Voices be Heard - M. Russell Ballard

From what I have read and discussed, I believe it is critical that we get involved with students/children and guide them to have positive internet and media expereinces. We can each make a difference by encouraging others to have high standards and only participate in wholesome and uplifting activities.
