MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, Minn. (7/16/2010) — The University of Minnesota Moment free audio feature for the week of Monday, July 19, is available to Minnesota media:

Parenting 2.0: How do parents use the Internet?

University of Minnesota researchers in Extension and the College of Education and Human Development recently launched a new online research project called "Parenting 2.0" to determine how parents utilize the Internet and technology. Extension family relations specialist Jodi Dworkin explains the goal of the research.

Dworkin also says the Internet can connect parents to provide support and share advice.
