Safer Internet Day - 12 February 2008
|
Safer Internet Day takes place each year in February and is an opportunity to dedicate some time in schools to reflect on some of the issues and more importantly to raise awareness of them. Each year there is a competition for schools and details of the forthcoming events will be explained and included here. The pages also provide information about previous events and showcase some of the work done by schools and young people. The winners of the previous year’s competition are highlighted and all of the entries can be found using a searchable database.

“I am just a kid”;
Zaharia Boiu Primary school,

Cyberspace is like a big city. It’s not only fun, but it lets you keep in touch with friends and family and provides an enormous amount of information. Children can go online from personal computers at home, a friend’s house, in school, a library or club. The online world, like the rest of society, is made up of a wide array of people. Many children have been confronted with material that is disturbing or inappropriate. Even people who are nice in the “real” world can forget their manners when they go online. There are lots of great educational sites as well as places to keep up with your favorite hobbies, music, sports, and much more. Keep Your Identity Private! Never enter any information about yourself without first checking with your parents. We all are responsible for our behaviour online.

First place:
“The adventures of a Modern Odysseus”;
8th Junior High School of Thessaloniki,
Greece

The students’ team of the 8th Junior High School of Thessaloniki created an e-game about Safer Internet, based on the adventures of Odysseus, the hero of the famous ancient Greek epic “Odyssey”, on his way back from Troy to his beloved home place Ithaca. Our modern Odysseus has to overcome internet dangers and use it safely. Will you help him reach his own Ithaca giving the right answers? We visited the “ins@fe” pages of many countries to gather information. Based on this information and the Greek mythology we designed the game graphics, texts and presentation (PowerPoint2002 or later).
