Product Description
24467-3 If you only want the best experiences for your children on-line...For years, Brendan Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet has been warmly welcoming newcomers to the Internet. Now, Kehoe has written a Zen book just for parents and educators. This book has all the warmth and simplicity that made Zen and the Art of the Internet the world's most well-loved Internet book. It also has something today's parents and educators need very badly: good advice on helping children benefit from the Internet revolution without falling victim to its dangers. You'll take a quick tour through the basics that so many Internet books assume you already know. You'll learn not only about the hugely popular World Wide Web, but about all the other Internet educational resources that don't get as much publicity: newsgroups, file transfer sites, electronic mail, and much more. And, as with Zen and the Art of the Internet, you'll get information that's usable no matter what kind of computer or Internet connection you may have. Everything in this book has one goal: to help you help your children. You'll learn where the best Web sites for kids are. How to reach other parents and educators who share your interests. Where the Internet's danger spots are -- and how to avoid them. Practical ways to supervise your children online. You even get a trial copy of CyberPatrol's software you can use in school or at home to prevent children from accessing the areas of the Internet where they're most likely to get into trouble. If you're responsible for the growth and well-being of a child, take the advice Internet experts have been giving for years. Get the Zen book. Get Children and the Internet.

Great book for first time internet user
27 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
Kehoe and Mixon provide a great resource for the parent or educator that has interest, but no exposure to the internet. This is an easy read that provides useful information for the concerned parent. Support is also offered for the technologicaly reluctant educator. This is a great "how to" for the educator that is interested in bringing tech. into the class, but is not sure where to begin. The text and information presented is best suited for someone with little to no background experience with the internet.

Some Duplicated Info, Some Fresh
14 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I just read this book after reading Zen and the Rat of the internet. There appears to be some information duplicated in both books. Also there are some far out errors, the one I noticed first was the quote by "Irish Murdoch"! I think the book could have used an editorial pass.
The really fresh and worthwhile stuff was the case studies and how to make it work in the real world. It was almost like one author did "internet" stuff and one did children stuff, and the children stuff was much more polished. I wonder if maybe the co-author Victoria Mixon did the kids stuff since it wasn't also in the Zen book. I can't find any other books by her though, I wish she would write some.
This is a good book for getting teachers (and kids!) on the internet though!
