February 8 is Safer Internet Day, a worldwide recognition of the need to actively safeguard children and adults when they spend time on the Internet. Safer Internet Day is a good reminder of the continuous need to educate everyone on staying safe online, protecting personal data, and acting as good netizens.

Safer Internet Day began among European partners in 2004 and has expanded around the world to about 200 nations, including the US. As the movement has gone global, there are a number of resources that have been developed that we can use to help educate ourselves as educators, as well as our adult students and those who are parents of children.

There are many resources that we can tap into to educate ourselves and students about Internet safety. You can also contact OTAN at support@otan.us External Link Icon opens in new window or tab or call our office at 916-228-2580 to schedule a digital safety training at your school.
