The Added Advantage in African American Children's Education - Computer Home Schooling Part 4

We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit how 'bout you!

Parents and friends in our third article we championed using
computers to homeschool african american children and prepare
them for a future where computers will have an impact on every
part of our society. In the final part 4 article we will
complete the series by stressing the importance of making sure
your computers and broadband Internet connection is secure from
the daily attack of hackers, viruses and thieves.. oh my!

Lions, tigers and bears in digital form are being unleashed on
the Internet daily, if not almost hourly. Now most parents would
get the idea that if it's that bad then why use the Internet at
all. If you take a closer look at the educational environment
today, there are lions, tigers and bears already out there in
public and private schools waiting to take advantage of our
african american children each and everyday. It's almost become
a challenge to just stay alive, let alone avoid drugs, teen
pregnancy and other ills.

The difference between the two learning arenas is that while
they are at home learning you have more control protecting them
and more tools to defend against whatever comes their way. It's
far better to have a daily defense for your african american
children's learning, then to wonder what's going on at their
school.

Now, let's get to looking at viruses (lions), hackers (tigers)
and thieves (bears) to keep out of your computer and your home.
Virus software is as important to your computer and the network
it's connected to as proper nutrition is to your children. Both
help to defend against having a healthy computer/child becoming
sick or worse.

Make sure your virus software is up-to-date and that your
computer's operating system is updated constantly. Run your
virus software daily, yes daily and check for updates daily to
make sure the software has the latest tools to protect your
computer. Viruses, worms and other bad software code is being
released near hourly at times, so running your virus software
everyday and keeping it updated is a must. Teach your children
about viruses and what to do to keep your computers safe and
virus free.
