Book's content was not what was expected
This book (I should say long brochure), really was not worth the money. Didn't tell you anything you didn't already know.

Purchase the book for someone with minimal computer skills, and they were really disappointed.

I used this book for a computer camp and it was great!
Lots of neat ideas that kids can use with all different types of software such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and multimedia! The kids really enjoyed the activites and learned a lot! If you are looking new and exciting activites then you've come to the right place! ... Read more

Cybersafety, Surfing Safely Online
This is the book I've been searching for! My kids and I both use the Internet, but since they are more adept than I am at web-surfing and chatrooms, I needed to become savvy at heading off the dangers they could encounter. Joan Vos MacDonald provides a much needed map of the terrain, and specifics on how to avoid and deflect trouble. Cybersafety is sensible and respectful of both parents and kids, undermining neither. Now, I can talk to my kids without being alarmist or playing cop, and I also have a better appreciation for their choices and activities on the Net. I highly recommend Cybersafety, especially to read aloud and discuss!

An excellent practical guide
I found a lot of very good, practical information for keeping safe on-line. I thought the writing was clear and easy to understand. I've bought two additional copies to send to young people in my family who use the web a lot.

Cybersafety in an insecure world
Joan Vos MacDonald has managed to give us web-surfers a much-needed security blanket. She has written an insightful book that makes us aware of the ignorance, and, perhaps, naivete, with which we approach the worldwide web. If any of us assumed that surfing the internet was a secure and, somewhat innocuous, exercise, Cybersafety: Surfing Safely Online has brought our mistaken assumptions to light. This book should be on everyone's MUST READ list, and should make its way to every parents Christmas stocking. ... Read more
