Children can educate themselves through surfing the net and talking to experts. However, kids still needs guidance and this is where the teachers and parents play an important role. The Net is only a tool valuable to those who have the motivation and drive to use it. With the Net children are able to visit Africa one day and watch a video about the French history all with English translation another day. The Net connects kids to their parents.
Parents can also monitor their children's net use .
For example with pornography, parents can talk to their child about why they don't want their children reading or looking at pornography. On the internet children have the opportunity to interact with other people as adults. It also exposes them to messages that are meant for adults and not children. Parents may feel uneasy about this but the good news is that the Net does allow you to experiment more safely than you could in real life. The Net allows you to educate yourself, therefore you have control of your education.
