Internet Safety for Spanish-Speaking Families
2:31 PM EST 12/6/05
Hi Everyone,
I recently found a site (http://www.getnetwise.org/) that discusses, among other things, Internet safety for children. It features a section in Spanish (specifically http://kids.getnetwise.org/kidsites/morespanishsites).
In my work, I have met Spanish-speaking parents who obtain computers for their children and get the house hooked up for Internet service. These mothers and fathers are usually trying to make sure that their children do well in school. However, for the most part, they have no idea how to log onto or use the computer, have never heard of parental control features, don't realize that their children can talk to unsavory characters via chat rooms....you get the picture.
I'm not sure if most computer classes for Spanish-speakers address Internet safety issues adequately, if at all.
Any comments, or suggestions for other sites?
Thanks,
Maria
