Learning online can be a huge blessing, yet there are also dangers and pitfalls in online education. There are a few simple things that parents can do to provide internet safety for kids.
1) Find a filter program that works for your family. There are lots of free ones out there if you have a tight budget...k-9 filter - and safe eyes.
2) Make sure that you "custom" set each selection for your filter. This way you will know exactly what your child is given permission to view.
3) Open a separate email with a password that only you know. This will enable you to keep your child from changing the password and allowing themselves permission to view certain sites.
4)Be vigilant to review what the filter is blocking - and check your child's internet history periodically.
