Presentation Links: Protecting Young Children Online
I’m doing a presentation for a PTA organization this week focusing on K-5 children’s use of the Internet and how parents can protect them. Perhaps more importantly, my twist on this topic isn’t based necessarily on security, but rather parent’s involvement in their child’s online habits. It’s going to be more a conversation than a presentation. Below are links I plan to provide to the group to support the discussion:
What is Webkinz?
What is Club Penquin?
How to change Google search settings
How to change Youtube search settings
Top websites for children
Top Child Protection Software
Webwatcher Software for Windows
Parental Settings on Mac OSX
UPDATE: Found this interesting Parent’s Guide to Video Games, Parental Controls and Internet Safety that might interest you (Adobe PDF File)

Thanks for posting this, Brian–it’s very helpful, especially for people who have already contacted me to tell me that they cannot make the meeting but are very interested in the topic. For those of us who can make it, we’re very much looking forward to Wednesday.
