A Parent's Guide to Facebook

 I saw an article on Cincinnati.com last week about a new "Parent's Guide to Facebook" offered by ConnectSafely.org.  I took some time to download and read though it...not too bad, especially since there isn't much fort parents available in this space.

The guide was written by Anne Collier and Larry Magid, Internet safety advocates and co-directors of ConnectSafely, which published the guide in conjunction with the iKeepSafe Coalition, a national partnership of governors, attorneys general, health and education professionals and law enforcement promoting safe technology use.  The guide covers such topics as safety, privacy and reputation protection when using Facebook.

It's no secret how I feel about Facebook and how dangerous it can be for children.  So here you go, another resource in your ongoing effort to keep your kids safe online.
