While the Internet provides many educational and communication benefits, it also poses several dangers, especially for children. The document discusses various online dangers like inappropriate content, scams, and cyberbullying. It emphasizes that both children and parents use the Internet differently, so parents must educate themselves on how children are using it and provide guidance to help them stay safe online. The key is for parents to have open communication with children and to understand that the online world is just as "real" as the physical one.

- 4. Adults and Children use the Internet in different ways DO YOU KNOW HOW YOUR CHILD USES THE INTERNET ? WE NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR CHILDRENS’ ONLINE ACTIVITY, VALIDATE THEIR SKILLS + LEARN FROM THEM YOUNG PEOPLE Interactive chat, IM, Music, Games, PARENTS Mostly e-mail and web for research

Editor's Notes
- Very important to start positively. – Stress that the internet is a wonderful resource and include a few examples of how you are using the Internet in your teaching to help children discover, connect and create their own work. – Clearly the fact that this is a global medium is important to stress. However – it is also important to state that because the Internet puts the whole world in children’s hands that they can equally access things which you as parents might not like them accessing (but not in school!) When we look at this issue of Internet safety we need to do so in a balanced way making sure we don’t forget the real benefits!
