SO WHAT I DIDN'T HEAR AT THE SOCIAL NETWORKING PRESENTATION... ( Basic Practices and MySpace Searches)

Here are slides regarding "Best Practices to keep your computer and your family safe on the internet" as well as some information how to do searches on MySpace.

As said during our presentation, Jeanne and I support supplementing these technology tools with the MOST EFFECTIVE TOOLS --

a) the open line of communication with your kids
b) the setting of boundaries and clear understood rules and consequences ( What time? Where? and what is up for exchange i.e. photos, music, videos etc., )
c) relaying that the computer is "not a journal" and that it is OPEN for parents to see.
