Amazing
Kids!
is dedicated to supporting the promotion
of positive role models for children in the media, including the Internet.
Many parents and educators have a real concern about the availability on
the Web of inappropriate material for children, but are not aware of how
they can protect their children. Many parents and educators need
help in guiding their children's use of the Internet, but don't know where
to start. That's where we come in!
Amazing Kids!
has developed an educational seminar on the use
of Internet and the World Wide Web, geared for parents and educators.
It will teach parents and educators about:
-
the range of positive, educational and
fun websites available for children - Speakers include: some amazing web
savvy students, the manager of the Orange County Register’s website “Just
for Kids” and the publisher of www.headbone.com – “the world’s 5th most
popular website for kids!”
-
Internet safety, including how to use
filtering software to protect children by blocking out unwanted websites
-
basic "how-to" use the Internet and World
Wide Web, for beginners - Provided by EarthLink,
the nation's largest independent Internet Service Provider
-
An example of how Orange County schools
(in Southern California) are using the Internet in their educational programs.
-
information from educational software
vendors, on the top software programs for children
-
and more...
The first Amazing
Kids on the Internet Seminar was held on June 27, 1998, from
