Club Penguin’s Guide to the Wonderful World of the Web
Posted by Trainman1405 on October 12, 2012 under Other StuffClub Penguin recently posted a document on their Disney UK website giving parents and kids a guide on how to navigate the web. You can read the document at this link. Here is a quick excerpt from it:
For more than a decade parents have had to adapt their parenting skills to the presence of the Internet in their children’s lives. We guide them on how to use the web to maximise its potential benefits, while minimising their exposure to harmful content.However, the speed at which things are changing means that learning how to use the Internet and new technologies safely is a voyage of discovery, not only for children but also those responsible for them.
My daughter is 14 years old and like many other teenagers she has grown up with the Internet in her life. Growing up online means that children are able to record and share details of their lives, pursue their passions and personalise their online presence, all of which helps to shape their identities. Parents play a critical role in supporting their child’s online activities.
