I'm hosting an URI Alumni Web Chat - Internet Safety
Posted by Jess in Solace

I've been doing a lot of speaking engagements at local Rotaries, and other agencies. This week I'll be hosting an alumni web chat from URI.

Internet Safety: Do you know how to be safe(r) online?

Internet Safety Specialist Jessica Stratton '99 leads our April 2007 Web Chat

Please join us on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 at 1 p.m. EST for a Web chat with Jessica (Spinosa) Stratton '99, who will respond to your questions about Internet use and safety.

Although using the Internet is a regular part of our everyday lives, there's an aura of mystery surrounding it that makes many of us uneasy. What do we need to know to protect our children online, prevent credit card and identify theft, and keep our computers virus-free? Is it really possible to be safe online? Answer these questions and others in this timely chat and find out what you can do to make your computer environment safer for you and your family.

Jessica Stratton graduated with a degree in Communication Studies from the University of Rhode Island in 1999. With a particular focus on Internet use and online safety, she works on technology projects with a variety of populations --from teaching third graders how to use the Internet to helping companies work smarter. A member of the URI Speakers' Bureau and a contributor to several print and Web magazines, textbooks, and online syndicated columns, Jess owns and operates Solace, a computer training facility in Westerly, R.I.

Note: Submit your questions now, or "live" when the chat begins on April 10th. Our host will respond to as many questions as possible in our 30 minute chat. Enter the chat here to submit a question or to view a copy of the transcript at the conclusion of the chat.

oh, actually the forward was from me. The cox.com account combines all of our emails into the same folder, so we never know who's emails truly belong to who. Which is why I hardly ever use that account :o)
