//From Hector's World//
//Hector's World is a fantastic site designed to help teach young children about cyber safety. We view this site as essential for all children and families! Rob//

There are a lot of new resources being launched this year so please stay tuned. Four new episodes starring Hector and his friends are being launched on 1 June and can be viewed at [|www.hectorsworld.com]. New versions of the Hector Safety Button are in progress (for Macs, Vista operating systems etc), as is a colourful poster that will be sent out to all primary school classrooms (and Early Childhood Centres) later this year.

When children first start using an internet-connected computer is when we must begin the education, even if that is at age 2! The button is the best place to begin with very young children. School-age children can get the most out of the episodes by viewing them with the guidance of a teacher in class, or having a parent alongside at home with whom they can talk over the issues raised. Don't be surprised if they want to see the episodes over and over!

Hector's World offers a fun way for parents and teachers to introduce cybersafety education with young children.
