[Ldsoss] Fireside talk on the Internet

[Stacey]

This is most likely way off topic but I don't know of a better forum to 
post something like this.   If you think this is way off topic then just 
email me directly (ldsoss at son.org).  I''ll repent and take this subject 
off-line with who ever would like to chat about it.

I have been asked to give a fireside talk to educate parents on what 
they should know about the Internet and how to protect their children.  
I am sure this group has lots of good ideas, web links, and maybe even a 
presentation they gave on a similar subject they would like to share.  I 
would especially like to hear about Windows based solutions and ideas 
because for me and my house, we run Macs.   In fact, I have been pretty 
much Windows free for about 7 years.  I do use Parallels Desktop for the 
Mac to run PAF (since it only comes in the Windows flavor). 

I would especially like to hear about:

    * Inexpensive software solutions for parental control and content
    filtering.  FYI, for the Mac I personally recommend Mac Minder
    (http://www.lumacode.com/macminder/) for general parental control.  
     From what I understand, all the parental control features of Mac
    Minder will be included with the next release of Mac OS X.   For
    content filtering I have used Content Barrier from Intego
    (http://www.intego.com/contentbarrier/) but mainly rely on
    DansGuardian running on my BSD-based firewall.  Of course,
    installing and configuring DansGuardian is beyond the capibility of
    the average parent.

    * Configuration options in Windows for parental control.  From what
    I understand Microsoft has added some parental control features to
    their new OS, similar to what Mac OS X has now.

    * Ideas for keeping your kids and teens "safe" on the Internet.

    * Talks given on this subject especially those from LDS sources.

    * If your ward or stake has given firesides or talks about this
    subject.   What did they talk about?

    * Experiences with consumer (home) products such as routers or
    gateways that include content filtering.

    * Web links to sites that have good ideas for the average parent.


Thanks in advance,

-stacey.
