He February 7 The International Safe Internet Day aims to disseminate and raise awareness about the need for a Responsible, safe and respectful use on the network. Those who work with minors also see the enormous need to remember the importance of Protect the rights of children and adolescents on the Internet.
As everywhere, on the Internet we find both positive and negative aspects. Prohibiting Internet access to minors is not the solution. It is necessary that adults and people who take care of their care we adopt Responsible and Protective Measures.
That is why this time I bring a compilation with educational resources and online didactic games so that children and adolescents learn to navigate on the Internet safely. I hope it is useful!
