Computing for Parents

For parents, computers are a blessing and a threat. They're great for learning and entertainment but potentially a gateway to bad stuff. This program looks at a variety of resources for parents including parentsplus.com, thecybermom.com, Encarta, American Greeting Crafts, Clue Finders from The Learning Company, abcparenting.com, Math Heads, French Now!, and Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess. Guests include Roberta Furger, author of "Does Jane Compute? Preserving Our Daughter's Place in the Cyber Revolution" and Pam Dixon, author of "Take Charge Computing for Parents & Teens".
