Facebook to give young children access — iKeepSafe

Facebook to give young children access — iKeepSafe

Since children are signing up anyway, this maybe a good idea. To allow them to sign up but with restrictions on what they can and can't see and parental control. But since kids are already lying about their age on FB and not telling their parent they are on it, will this really make a difference?

I know, I know another article about Internet safety, but I just had to share because I really like the video they attached to the article.

I know there are many articles out there talking about Internet safety but what I liked about this one was there was a plan to try and educate the parents. There were steps that they took to take the time to teach parents how the computers worked and help them teach their kids to be safe.

I love technology being a computer teacher and am from time to time a facebook junky but.....is this what our country is coming to???? Actually the article is about digitizing voter registration in New York, which I think is a great idea. But as they mention what does come next, in this age of technology?
