I've compiled some children's websites on the net specifically for children's use.
http://www.kidsites.com/
http://kids.yahoo.com/
http://www.kidgrid.com/
But then again, I suppose just restricting them to browsing kid websites is not enough as children tends to stray off in the internet world on their own considering it's web2.0 now.
I am amazed yet shocked to see 10 year olds with facebook profiles now and adding various people to be friends with regardless whether they know them or not.
Or even kids who posts vlogs(video blogs) on youtube. Same case with blogs too; revealing quite alot of private info.
According to this website,
Internet's safety for children should not only consist of browsing websites but also:
Click on the links to get to the direct guidelines page :)
They also added a section regarding viruses which i think is something we did not include, or did we? Well, I kind of forgot about virus security, eventhough it's pretty much important too. Viruses are the source of malicious software and not anyone would want them in their PCs.
Lastly,
Private information is by far the most vital part of keeping safe. Browsing on the net is almost equivalent to walking in a park only virtually together with a digital identification card of some sort. Once you leak your information out, people can or will do things to you.
So keep your internet journey safe, friends~
Tell your little brothers and sisters too and be good siblings :D
