Use the Internet Wisely

We all know there's a lot of bad stuff on the Internet, but what about the good stuff?

With all the talk about the dangers of the World Wide Web, you would think it has no redeeming qualities. But that is just not true. There are millions of great sites set up to help children learn about and explore the world around them. And just about any question they have can be answered with a few clicks of the mouse.

You say your boy loves lizards? You wouldn't believe how much information is on the Internet about lizards! Everything from proper care and feeding to picking the right breed.

Want to teach your daughter origami? All you need to get started is right online and easy to find.

Obviously, it's important to be careful because there's a lot of dangerous stuff out there. But with a monitoring and the right software filters in place, a little imagination can go a long way.
