February 5th is the 10th Annual Safer Internet Day.
The theme is Online rights and responsibilities and the slogan is "Connect with respect".
It's purpose is to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world. This topic is near and dear to my heart, and of utmost important for our gen-ed and our special populations!
The website offers free downloadable resources for home as well as the classroom. The video below is informative, and offers some surprising information and statistics, not vilifying technology, but understanding the pros and the cons.
Share this with parents and educators alike! Happy technology-ing!
