Safer Internet Day February 7th, 2012
We live in a world where everyone, including students and kids, are connected to the internet and connected to each other with a multitude of social media platforms. A lot of us use the internet and social media to share and gain knowledge, whereas others use it in a inappropriate manner.
Therefore, it is imperative that those of us who want to make a safer learning environment for everyone involved on the web, we must empower ourselves with the tools and knowledge on how to do that.
February 7th, 2012 is "Safer Internet Day".
saferinternetday.org is a website dedicated to providing tools, infographics, and resources to teach yourself and others safer internet practices.
They also have a page dedicated for schools/teachers that include lesson plans: http://www.saferinternetday.org/web/guest/sidkit2012
Of course, safer internet practices should be taught on a regular basis.
Jen Petras and myself also have some resources on internet safety and cyberbullying:
