Internet Safety

At last week's Extravaganza, we talked about some quick and easy tips for helping you keep your child safe while using the Internet and ways that you could use to see what sites were being accessed that computer.

The technology coordinator for the Mountain Brook City Schools has put together a much more detailed PowerPoint presentation. She and I have exchanged e-mails, and she has given her blessing on my sharing the site with you. To access the PowerPoint presentation, click here. Then click on the link entitled “PTA Internet Safety Slideshow.” You will then be able to download that presentation to your computer. The only requirement is that your computer has PowerPoint.

There is a second presentation you may want to download. On the same webpage, you will see a link entitled “Facebook,” which gives detailed information of how that site works and what types of information you would see.
