It’s about that time, as the message is sinking in, that educational online safety panels, forums and meetings are taking place nationwide at town halls, schools and other public meeting places. Here are 2 stories about the efforts in Danbury Connecticut and Northwest Arkansas.

City to educate parents about online predators

Boozman summit covers protecting children online

Truthfully, I am very happy to see these popping up. One of our initiatives in 2008 will be getting placement/representation at these meetings. While a lot of education seems to be on knowing the threats out there, little is emphasized on how to prevent them or stop them from entering your home. Parents can sometimes be left with the “OK, this is good… but now what do I do” feeling. Well, our PC Pandora monitoring software is your answer!

…Now we just need a way to tell all these parents this! So we’re going to work on figuring out how. And I don’t mean a straight-up, blatant, uninformative product pitch as these meetings and gatherings. I mean an informative, “to help you out a bit in knowing what your child is up to, there is some great monitoring software out there that you can get – like PC Pandora version 5.0!”

I mean, seriously… If your job was to dig holes all day, and someone came up to you and said “hey, there is this tool called a shovel that will make this a bit easier for you”… wouldn’t you want to know more about it and get one?
