We encourage parents and children to go online together and also to discuss what New Year's resolutions work best for their families. We suggest families then print out and post their resolutions near the computer so they can be reminded of them throughout the year. Also available is helpful information and age-specific tips on making the Internet a safe and educational experience for the whole family. We will set and follow family guidelines for Internet use and will discuss our online experiences with each other. Resolutions can also be tailored to meet the needs of each individual in the family.
Some people online pretend to be someone else.
Sometimes they pretend to be kids when they are not kids. GetNetWise partners are promoting the Families Online Together activities through online banner ads. Each organization is also hosting its own special guide for families, including New Year's resolutions, games, videos and other interactive features that teach children how to safely navigate the Internet. Launched in July 1999, GetNetWise is a web-wide resource intended to help parents guide their children in the digital age. More then 95 percent of U.S. online users will find this resource just one click away.
