online safety

Safer Internet Day 2010 is an important call to action for everyone to keep children safe on the internet, while still allowing them to enjoy its boundless benefits.

Safer Internet Day 2010 is organized by Insafe each year in February to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world. The topic for 2010's day - held on February 9th, 2010 - is "Think B4 U post!". (Go to the event website at: http://www.saferinte...)

The internet can literally bring the world to your fingertips, but this powerful resource also brings with it some inherent risks. How can children, with their natural wonderment and curiosity, best experience these benefits safely? ictQATAR recently launched its "Keep Them Safe, Keep Them Curious" campaign to begin raising awareness about the need for parents to be involved in their child's online safety and to give some basic tips for how to help be more cyber smart.
