Welcome to My Links
There is so much information on the internet. I have found a collection of websites that have been helpful--some for parents, some for students, and some for both! The sites cover a variety of topics. Please let me know if you have found a website that has been helpful to you and I will include it. Happy reading!
The Internet Safety category is a new one that came from Eric Szatkowski's presentation on internet safety. These links are his recommended websites. A paper copy is available in my office, as well as a handout with internet safety tips for parents from I-Safe America-2006
