National Town Hall Meeting on Kids Safety online and Local Events
On September 15, 1998 America Links Up kicked off National Kids Online Week with a National Town Hall Meeting in Washington DC. U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley, teachers, librarians, kids and parents participated.
There are also hundreds of local events planned throughout the country. Be sure to check for the events nearest you! These events will provide parents and kids with the opportunity to learn about:
- Internet basics,
- Tools that promote safe, rewarding online experiences,
- Information to help you find good quality web sites for your kids
- And much much more!
Finally, you can help out by planning a teach-in of your own in a local school, church, community center or even your own home. We hope that you will help out to ensure that every child in America has a safe, educational and rewarding experience online.
