organisations. During the recent National Conference of the Australian

NetAlert - Keeping your kids safe online
With ICT options growing at an amazing rate, parents and indeed schools
need to keep up with how their children use technology. Are they online
doing research, or just playing games? How safe are they when there
is increasing use of chat rooms by young people? NetAlert is the Australian
Government's not-for-profit organisation that aims to promote a safer
internet experience for children and their families. In Learning Works this
week, Tony Ryan speaks with Net Alert's Greg Gebhart, about internet
safety and about a series of workshops now being run around Australia.
