Classifying family life education on the World Wide Web

Family life education sites on the Internet were searched for and classified into the topic areas of the Framework for Life-Span Family Life Education. A total of 356 sites were found and a content analysis was performed to discover trends within each topic area. Many Web sites were found in the topic areas of parenting and human development, while fewer sites were found in other areas such as family resource management. These findings will help family life educators identify gaps in information available through the World Wide Web. Recommendations are offered for improving the use of technology in educating families.
