This corner of the Junior Kindergarten web site is dedicated to children.
Here they can find links to web sites where they can learn as well as to others where they can just play.
These web sites are safe and designed for children, but it is your choice how to supervise your children while learning or playing online.
If you want to learn more about internet safety, I have some suggestions below.
- Using a screening device, such as Kid Desk: Internet Safe, Net Nanny (http://www.netnanny.com) , or Cyber Patrol (http://www.cyberpatrol.com). Another helpful screening device is a PG Key (www.pgkey.com) ; it resembles a USB flash drive and plugs directly into the USB port of the child's computer. It allows adults to control when the child uses the computer. In addition it locks in Safe Search, which allows the freedom to search the Web, but prevents most of the unwanted and dangerous content from showing up.
- It is best for children to use a pen name when on the Internet- a pseudonym, the name of their dog, cat, or favorite stuffed animal.
If you have any questions or concerns about using computers and technology at this age, I will be happy to provide you with relevant information on the topic.
