by Fred Cohen

Short Reviews:

"What a great tool for teachers in the classroom! With so many of our students now using the Internet this book offers us, as educators, a vehicle to teach ethics to our students. The layout is user-friendly, providing teachers with easy access to definitions for Internet terms, the laws surrounding them, a large number of questions to generate discussion, and additional resources. This repeated format makes it easy for teachers to create lesson plans and have access to information for on-the-spot instruction. Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids is a tool that no 21st Century classroom should be without!"

Bonnie Cangelosi
Principal, Seminole Elementary School

"Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids delivers a powerful message that everyone needs to hear. While this book has been written for students in grades 7-12, it has also been designed to promote meaningful discussion between students, teachers and parents. Winn Schwartau has done a great job at pulling together the necessary resources that enable students to begin thinking about the practice of responsible social behavior on the Internet. While the Internet enables young people to access so much wonderful information, it also brings with it some areas of risk. Winn is to be commended for seeing the importance of dealing with these issues and filling the void by providing a key tool for parents, teachers and kids."

Bob Bales
Founder and former President The National Computer Security Association and Founder and CEO, SaferSite.com

"Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids is a frank and very readable book that will give parents and teachers a thorough grounding in the potential pitfalls children may encounter on the Internet. We wouldn't give our children the keys to the family automobile without solid instruction and a strong sense that they possessed the physical and ethical skills to drive without hurting themselves or others. Winn Schwartau has laid out the driver's education course for the Information Super Highway. The ITAA Cybercitizen Partnership Program supports and endorses his efforts."

Peter Smith
Information Technology Association of America

"This book is important because we, as parents, cannot abdicate the responsibility to teach our children to become responsible adults just because our children are playing/working in the virtual world. The proper ethics and responsibility of the physical world must translate into all aspects of our daily lives, both real and virtual. Parents-don't hide from what your children already know. This book is a must read for any parent and teacher who has children using the Internet."

Thomas H. Aldrich, COL, US Army (Ret)
Program Manager, Norwich University
Information Assurance Education and Training Program

"Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids is an impressive collection of situations and references which aid in defining where the Internet has been and where is it going. The chapter on Cyber Parenting should be on the reading list of every parent whose child has access to a computer."

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO)

"Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids is informative enough to educate even the most advanced computer user. However, it is not so technical that a novice cannot understand. And though it is geared for kids, even parents and teachers will be thoroughly entertained and informed. Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids should be in every child's library."

Krystan Menne
10th grade student, International Baccalaureat
St. Petersburg High School

"Hat's off to Winn Schwartau. This is a very timely solution for a rapidly growing problem today. The lack of ethical behavior on the Internet, especially when it comes to our children, is an alarming trend. Schwartau's national intervention campaign will provide tools and assist parents and teachers in communicating with kids about appropriate behavior on the Internet. Through Internet & Computer Ethics for Kids, the NiceKids.net Web site, and other awareness materials, kids can learn how to be more responsible and ethical Internet and computer users. We encourage others in the industry to take part in this very important campaign."

Donald Withers,
CEO, The Training Co.
