What is Online Publishing?

Online publishing means the creation and displaying of information on the Internet. This information can be in the form of plain text, pictures, movies or sound.

Once the information is published other people can view it through searching the web.

Publishing on the Internet provides children with a global audience. It is fun and allows a child to explore his/her creativity in an unrestricted environment.

However, in order to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks when publishing on the web or creating personal web sites, guidelines should be established and clearly communicated to ensure the safety of children.
