Box 10.4 Speculations on Ideas for Promoting Parental Education and Internet Safety Education
- Television and other mass-market entertainment programming that provides role models for parents interacting with their children in ways that enhance Internet safety.
- Interviews on TV and radio talk shows during which concrete tips on Internet safety can be provided to parents.
- Short courses on Internet safety offered by schools, libraries, and community centers.
- Links to training in computer ethics and codes of responsible behavior.
- Discounts for Internet service provider subscriptions for parents who complete a program of online training in Internet safety.
- Awards to youth of various ages for achieving age-appropriate levels of Internet proficiency, to include appropriate safety knowledge and education. Such a program might be modeled on the physical fitness awards given to youth on behalf of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.1
- Graduated privileges for Internet use at school as a function of the safety instruction a student has completed.
- Government or foundation support for developing Internet safety curricula for parents and youth.
1The program is known as the President's Challenge. More information can be found online at <http://www.fitness.gov/challenge/challenge.html>.
