Internet Booster Shot

When I wrote the article "Internet Abuse" for the summer 2002 Independent School magazine, I never realized at that time technology would become so incredibly sophisticated for students, parents, and teachers.

Before the end of this school year, our school will be offering an Internet Booster Shot class to our parents. Based on excerpts form "Growing Up Online," a PBS special, and student survey data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project (please take some time to review both of these fabulous resources) and our own students, the librarian, Director of Technology, Program Director, and teachers hope to convey a message of understanding and perspective for our parents.
