You can print this list out and distribute it at your next PTA meeting - or provide a link for parents from your school or district web site.

In this indispensable guide for parents, online-safety experts Larry Magid and Anne Collier demystify the world's largest social network. This hands-on book shows how teens use MySpace and other social networks and explains step by step how parents can use it to help their kids blog and socialize safely. The authors remove the fear and hype surrounding social networking and take a clear-eyed look at what is really going on in the very public world of teen online socializing and blogging. In addition, they look at how social networks and their users are changing the Web.
