The Internet can be a wonderful resource for children. Students can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Unfortunately, it can also pose hazards to children. Parents must be aware of what their children see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.
