Windows Vista has excellent parental control features.  It allows you
to set up child accounts, allow when you want your kids accessing the
internet, what applications they run and when, and track what they are
doing on the internet.  All of this is built in to Vista.

 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.
