Google and Common Sense Media have teamed up to launch a new site about family Internet safety called Tips for Online Safety.

The new site has a great video for parents that includes useful "how-to" tips about keeping kids safe while they browse the Internet. It shows parents how to check which pages and sites kids have been visiting, as well as how to use filters. It also includes suggested rules for families.

Parents and preteens should also print and sign a copy of the Online Safety Pledge to keep posted near the computer.

Safe surfing everyone!
