QR Code SID

Today is SAFER INTERNET DAY (SID) - already in its tenth edition - and this year's theme is "Online Rights and Responsibilities" when we will encourage users to "Connect with Respect). Through this decade its main concern has been "to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world".

Have a look at this generic video providing an overview of SID.

Here you can find many teacher resources and posters and here is a 2011 free ebook in Portuguese.
More recently I came across an awesome website with dozens of Netsafe episodes - basically short videos - explaining the basics. Check them here.
The scariest however is the video that follows - scary even for adults but really educational for all ages!!!

Be vigilant yourself but, above all, if you are a parent, be sure your children are safe!
