GetNetWise To Launch Webinar Series
The Internet Education Foundation, through its GetNetWise initiative, attempted to make the Web a little safer during the late August lull in Washington. The nonprofit group unveiled a new parental education and empowerment campaign featuring weekly interactive webinars.
The series of streaming videos, which will take place on Thursdays at 2 p.m. ET starting later this month, will focus on a variety of filtering, monitoring, and blocking tools that can be employed to aid in protecting children and families online, officials said.
The project aims to "demystify these tools for parents and policymakers alike" on the heels of two recently passed Senate Commerce Committee bills that highlight growing interest in learning more about the latest, greatest Web safety devices.
GetNetWise already hosts the largest searchable database of parental empowerment tools on the Internet, IEF Executive Director Tim Lordan said in a press release. The group hopes to enhance its repository of resources with "more media-rich information," he said.
