Anne Coller:
As many of you know I am a huge fan of Anne's work and always go to Connect Safely and Net Family News websites for up to date information on how to keep yourself and your family informed of technology trends and safety issues. Anne and her colleage Larry Magid, have done such a great job of providing thoughtful, common sense ideas to empower our youth. She is such a great resource and I am so thankful she was able to take time out of her busy schedule. Read more about Anne and her work here:
