Internet Safety Discussion

For this assignment I talked with my mom a little bit about internet safety.  My two little brothers are are 14 and 16 and still living in the home.  We first discussed what is being done now to make internet use safe in my home.  She talked about keeping the computer where everyone can see.  My parents have also installed a K9 filter that helps monitor what kinds of things are being accessed.  It seemed to go well because my mom is really open to learning new things and doing what she can to protect her kids.  We talked a lot about what I learned about cyber bullying.  She was surprised at how often it goes on.  We talked about some of the things she can do to protect my brothers: talking with them, installing a special filter etc.  We also discussed how to make good passwords.  She said she was going to change some of the passwords she is using on some of her accounts.
