Children On The Internet by Grandpa Chuck
The Internet is a wonderful tool for finding information on just about any subject. When my grandson is visiting he love to visit his favorite Play Station game sites or simply play a few games online such as those that are found at Cartoon Network.com.
I set down rules for Internet usage but in the click of a mouse he could be just about anywhere. Some of these “anywhere” sites are places a 9-year old should not visit. Available today are a number of software packages that will limit your children or grandchildren’s surfing ability to sites with a “General Audience” rating.
Net Nanny is parental
control software that includes an Internet monitor, web site filtering, time limits, chat recording, newsgroup blocking, and privacy control in the most comprehensive and
customizable software product.
CYBERsitter is designed primarily for home, educational and small business use. Even though CYBERsitter has been designed to be easily installed and used by the most inexperienced users, there are plenty of advanced features for power users too. CYBERsitter allows parents to override blocked sites, add their own sites to block, specify allowable times to access the Internet, and maintains a detailed log of all Internet activity.
