Measures you can take at home

• In tonight's presentation you will be introduced
  to actions you can take at home to preserve your
  Internet safety. Although there are many
  recommended steps you can take, none are 100
  guaranteed. The best action is to keep an open,
  ongoing dialogue with your student on his/her
  Internet use.
