And then tonight, while surfing around, I came across this post from a couple years ago from Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach: http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.com/blog/2006/11/internet_safety.html. I'd never seen it before tonight, but was tickled by how eerily similar it was to the conversation you and Mark and I had. Just thought I'd share Damon p.s. love the blog! Michelle,

Issues of online safety and security are tremendously important. In my experience, educators and parents tend to one of the extremes. But, a middle ground must be defined because we do our students and children a disservice if we do not allow them to learn how to function online. In my conversations with parents and educators, I have found these resources to be helpful. www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/ www.nsteens.org/ www.digizen.org/ www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/ www.getnetwise.org/ www.ikeepsafe.org/ www.netsmartz.org/netteens.htm This is a very important conversation.

We need to have integration of our online and offline lives. I recommend parents use accountability software for the computer in order to really model accountability and honesty in the home.
