Reflect together about new technologies, the benefits, dangers and potential. ☺ Systems Keep webcams in family rooms Monitor time spent on the internet View the ‘History’ or purchase filtering software.

19. and finally remember ‘..the risks do not merit a moral panic, and nor do they warrant seriously restricting children’s internet use because this would deny them the many benefits of the internet. Indeed, there are real costs to lacking internet access or sufficient skills to use it.’ ‘However, the risks are nonetheless widespread, they are experienced by many children as worrying or problematic, and they do warrant serious intervention by government, educators, industry and parents.’ http://www.children-go-online.net/
