Today, Tuesday, February 7th, is Safer Internet Day! It was organized in Europe as a way to promote safer internet practices and use, especially by children.
This is a great opportunity for all educators to talk to their students about being safe online and what to be wary of when on the web. The site has some great videos and resources to help teach about online safety.

I am glad we are promoting safer environments for children to learn. I think it is the most important for our children coming up. Some schools have been very lazy in protecting students. I mean some still use asbestos in labs, and that's not healthy. You can see it here if you like. I think we should keep working towards the protection of our greatest resource.
