End hatred Responding to Hate on the Internet cont. 4. Be aware of online activities of children. Initiate discussion about children’s online experiences. 5. Discuss with children the dangers of sharing personal information with others online and continually reinforce the importance of this guideline. Clarify the kinds of information that should never be shared (names, addresses, phone numbers, names of schools and grade levels). This is a critical safety rule for people of all ages. 6. Provide children with opportunities for skill development and the necessary tools and resources to assess accuracy of Web site content. Provide supervised opportunities for children to practice these skills online. 7. Instruct children to immediately notify the appropriate authorities (parent or other adult family member, teacher or other school personnel, librarian, etc.) when they encounter hate online. 8. Discuss and provide opportunities for children to practice strategies for responding to individuals and groups encountered online that promote intolerance and hate. Distinguish between immediate strategies (logging out of a chat room) and long-term strategies (writing a letter to the local Anti- Defamation League office or police department to provide information about the Web site). 9. Explore and utilize services and resources provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to protect children from encountering hate online, such as built-in filters. If your current ISP does not offer family-oriented services, explore other local options for this Internet access. 10. Restrict time children spend online, and provide guidance for structuring online time. Limit unstructured random surfing, and consistently supervise children’s online activities. 11. Model safe use of the Internet, avoiding potentially dangerous situations, including online romance and gambling. Children are keen observers of adult behavior and will emulate it, despite warnings to the contrary. 2007-2009 Cultural and Religious Observances SEPTEMBER 2007 September 3 .................................LABOR DAY September 4 .................................KRISHNA JAYANTI ..................................................................................Hindu September 8 .................................INTERNATIONAL LITERACY DAY September 13-14..........................ROSH HASHANAH..................................................................................Jewish September 13-October 12 ............RAMADAN .............................................................................................Islamic September 15-October 15 ............NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH September 15 ...............................GANESH CHATURTHI .............................................................................

Talk frequently with children about what sites they are visiting, and what they are seeing and hearing online. Use these opportunities to teach and reinforce skills to assess online content and safety.
