This is most likely way off topic but I don't know of a better forum to
post something like this. If you think this is way off topic then just
email me directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I''ll repent and take this subject
off-line with who ever would like to chat about it.
I have been asked to give a fireside talk to educate parents on what
they should know about the Internet and how to protect their children.
I am sure this group has lots of good ideas, web links, and maybe even a
presentation they gave on a similar subject they would like to share. I
would especially like to hear about Windows based solutions and ideas
because for me and my house, we run Macs. In fact, I have been pretty
much Windows free for about 7 years. I do use Parallels Desktop for the
Mac to run PAF (since it only comes in the Windows flavor).
I would especially like to hear about:
* Inexpensive software solutions for parental control and content
filtering. FYI, for the Mac I personally recommend Mac Minder
(http://www.lumacode.com/macminder/) for general parental control.
From what I understand, all the parental control features of Mac
Minder will be included with the next release of Mac OS X. For
content filtering I have used Content Barrier from Intego
(http://www.intego.com/contentbarrier/) but mainly rely on
DansGuardian running on my BSD-based firewall. Of course,
installing and configuring DansGuardian is beyond the capibility of
the average parent.
* Configuration options in Windows for parental control. From what
I understand Microsoft has added some parental control features to
their new OS, similar to what Mac OS X has now.
* Ideas for keeping your kids and teens "safe" on the Internet.
* Talks given on this subject especially those from LDS sources.
* If your ward or stake has given firesides or talks about this
subject. What did they talk about?
* Experiences with consumer (home) products such as routers or
gateways that include content filtering.
* Web links to sites that have good ideas for the average parent.
Thanks in advance,
-stacey.
