Couple of relevant pieces to this story for you:
1. We've created a great set of resources for parents over on SchoolFamily.com. Check out our Internet Safety Week section for all kinds of insight and tools. I hope you'll share the link in your emails (you are using the new, free Parent Express Email service, aren't you?), your websites and even your print newsletters to home.
2. We created a flyer to help you participate in Internet Safety Week at your school. It has great tips for helping your parents engage with their kids online, which is the first step to all of this. You can download the photocopy-ready flyer there (from our File Exchange) and share with all of your parents.
3. Symantec just launched its new, free OnlineFamily.Norton service for families. I've been an Advisory Board member for the product's development, and I must say -- pretty darn cool. I think the big switch these days has to be from parents thinking of Internet Safety and Parenting as two different things to parents realizing that -- with the 'Net being such a central part of kids lives -- Internet Safety and Parenting are one in the same. The good news is that the new Norton tool helps make that a reality. USA Today agrees in a review of the product today.
More to come next week on this exciting devlopment....
