Internet Safety

So I taught a course on internet safety yesterday to a group of young women and young men for a friend of mine. Internet safety is something I feel so strongly about. I live on the internet and I use it for everything but I strongly believe that parents and students really need to be aware of the dangers that come with internet. Also, we need to be educated on the proper precautions to take. Those of you with children, I highly encourage you to teach your children about the internet and what is safe and what is not. Kids just don't see the dangers of giving out their personal information to strangers. You can't start too young. My six year old niece knows how to navigate the internet and now that she is learing to read and spell it can be scary.

Also, I created this blog on the request of a couple of my close friends. However, I tend to forget to update it. I am doing really well on my new goal of keeping it updated but I need to know if anyone is paying attention. Let me know if you are visiting it frequently. That way I can justify it. I know it is not all cute yet but that will come. Maybe in the summer when I have nothing to do.
