Protecting young children online

Protecting young children online

The Internet is a stimulating classroom and a rich playground for kids—an infinity of exploration, learning, and fun. It’s also a place to join friends (and make new ones) from around the world, exchange messages, play games, and discover virtual worlds.

These materials will help you create a presentation to teach parents, guardians, teachers, and other adults the habits and practices that will help young kids (roughly age 11 and younger) explore cyberspace more safely.
