Here's a short article on Ontario's inclusion of Internet safety into the curriculum of 4-7th graders. I hope talking with their parents and developing trust is a big part of their curriculum.
Discussion between parents and children is the best way to create trust. But computer use especially by new users can not be expected to be "private" from their parents. Filtering has its place, but should be used to generate trust and not access blame or perjorative measures. Students will always find a way to circumvent filtering and internet restriction.
What are you're opinions? Has anyone used PC Pandora 6?
