Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Safer Internet Day 2012

Safer Internet Day (SID)  2012.

Holy Trinity pupils will be exploring Internet Safety this week and learning about how to stay safe online.

Recent research shows that 30% of young people now access the internet via a mobile device and, as the price of these technologies become cheaper, this is likely to rise further in the next few years. The aim of SID is not to discourage use of smart phones, tablets etc but to empower young people to be safe when using them. The theme of SID 2012 is ‘Discovering the digital world together’ and the aim is to encourage young people to share with parents, grandparents, carers and those in the local community, the positive use of the internet and digital technology. The key concept is that if we can ‘Connect Generations’, then parents can learn more about what their children are doing online and support and educate them with their ‘online’ life.

 

Have a look at some useful websites on the whole area of Internet Safety.
