One goal of HEdcen.com is to make responsible Netizens of us all. For this purpose, we’ve chosen Virginia Shea’s The Core Rules of Netiquette as a quick reference guide to what we can and can’t do online. These are good rules to “virtually” live by, to make our online existence a humanizing experience.

We’re also sharing with you where to get sound advice about internet safety. Check out the following reference sites, some of which are age-specific:

GetNetWise Online Safety Guide
SafeKids.com
SafeTeens.com
StaySafe.org

The last link has categories for Teenagers and Parents, as well as 50+ and Educators. The 50+ category refers to the grandparents of our children, our loving lolos and lolas who need our help too in learning to use the internet. The Educators category is of course aimed at aiding our teachers.

If you’re looking for a quick fix, Larry Magid’s Teen Safety on Info Highway summarizes the key points of most of what we need to know about internet safety.
