Lynda.com used to have two membership plans at $25 and $35 per month, but now it's available only to LinkedIn Pro subscribers for $30 per month unless you know the trick for obtaining free access.

It's never too early to start teaching your children about internet security and safety. While you're doing that, you might improve your own practices, too.
