GetNetWise Unveils Next-Generation Of Web Safety Tools
The Internet Education Foundation, which runs the GetNetWise Internet safety program, rolled out some exciting new enhancements to the initiative's online toolkit for parents, children and educators on Tuesday morning.
The GetNetWise crew briefed reporters and child safety advocates on its deployment of state-of-the-art distance education training technology aimed at helping families understand their empowerment options to aid in online safety.
Attendees were treated to a demonstration of new "Tools for Families" multimedia training sessions, which feature tutorials on popular Web safety products such as Net Nanny, Safe Eyes, Cyber Patrol and several more.
GetNetWise recognized the "distinct gap between the powerful resources we have in the child safety community and parents who may have a difficult time understanding how they work," Program Director Ali Rodway said.
Foundation Executive Director Tim Lordan, who attended via videoconference, said his group has "grand visions for this technology." Spokeswoman Danielle Yates added that the effort goes "hand-in-hand with the holistic approach" the organization takes when it comes to promoting safe surfing habits.
