Parents/Guardians are the #1 reason that students do not get in trouble and stay safe when using the internet.
For parents/guardians that do not understand technology, they can do these four things to ensure their childs safety.
-
Monitor the computer use of your children by being physically present when the children use the computer.
-
Keep the computer in a central location, like the kitchen or the family room.
-
Remove the powercord or battery when parents/guardians are not present to monitor the computer and establish times for computer use.
-
Talk with your children about their internet use, know their usernames and passwords, and monitor their internet activity.
