    About this ebook

    On the Internet: Our First Talk About Online Safety introduces children to the basics of online safety in a story-based, conversational style.

    Using real-world examples set within the context of a child who is using the Internet for the first time and watching an older sibling interact with social media, Dr. Roberts takes readers through several common scenarios around parental supervision, online bullying and anonymity. She also includes examples of people who use the Internet to make the world a better place. On the Internet addresses common safety concerns in a child-centered way and offers easy-to-understand rationales as to why it's important to maintain boundaries online just as in real life.

      On the Internet - Jillian Roberts - 5In today's world every student should have this book as required reading. The author puts things simply, so it’s easy to understand. It pulls no punches and is honest when it says that sometimes bad things exist and we can do little about it, but it is the way in which it is written that works so well. Mixing illustrations as well as real pictures helps make the information seem real and not just another weird warning for adults. I am very serious when I say, not just one-to-one school but all schools should make this required reading before they give their students a device, I mean it. Parents, beat them to it, and get a copy to keep at home for your kids, and the neighbors.
