For parents who want to raise their comfort level with today's Web capabilities, for those who want to enhance their children's Internet usage in and out of school, and for those who want to be prepared for potential dark alleys in the online world, The Web and Parents: Are You Tech Savvy? is a welcome new resource. Don't know a blog from a Wiki? MySpace from Facebook? An RSS feed from an instant message?
