McGruff Internet Safety Kit – revised January 2008. This safety kit includes twelve pages of fun and interesting interactive guidance for parents and their children to learn together about safe and appropriate Internet use by kids. It now includes advice on social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook), Internet predators, Internet bullying and more.
These are exciting times to raise a family. Our children are exposed to so many wonderful experiences for growth and development. Computer technology has opened up a wealth of opportunities that offer challenge, education, and just plain fun. The Internet is one terrific way to tap into a whole new world of knowledge that can enhance school performance and improve a child's communication skills.
We often hear a lot of negative issues regarding the Internet. This kit is designed to be a positive, interactive guide to Internet safety. Since many children are already pretty savvy about technology, much of it has been developed from their perspective. When you read it together, you'll find there's information for everyone. There are rules to clip out and post next to your computer and games your children can play while they're learning to be safe. Keep it with your computer books and Internet materials to refer to again and again. Have fun discovering all you can about this new adventure in learning. Let's all fight crime on line together.
