Links to my kids

Dear children,
the time has come. You got Chromebooks for Christmas. I got my first computer in third grade. I did not have internet then. Your world is different now and that is why we have been talking about media competency, the chances and risks of all types of media for years. Let me recap the rules really quick:

Computer rules for kids: – Know that mama and daddy can see everything you do on your device. – Don’t register accounts or buy anything without asking us first. – When you see something you don’t understand, talk to mama or daddy. – Do not send pictures or videos to anyone without asking us first.
