Data Protection Day 2011
Data
Protection day is the 28th January 2011. Data Protection Day is an international celebration of the
dignity of the individual expressed through our unique personal
information. In this online and networked world, our identities,
locations, actions, purchases, associations, movements, and histories are stored
as so many bits and bytes, we have to ask - who is collecting all of this -
what are they doing with it - with whom are they sharing it? Most
of all, people are know asking ‘How can I protect my information from being
misused?' These are reasonable questions to ask and we should all want to
know the answers. To find out more (including links to lesson plans and
resources altough most are American based at present) and to register your interest please visit http://dataprivacyday2011.org/
As soon as more information and material becomes available,
this blog will be updated
Safer Internet Day 2011
The new Safer Internet
Centre starts on 1st January 2011, and is made up of Childnet International,
the South West Grid for Learning, and the Internet Watch Foundation. Safer Internet Day is a
great opportunity to raise awareness, and Childnet want to make Safer Internet
Day (SID) a collaborative event, where all of the networks work together to
build up a momentum to ensure that SID has the greatest impact on the audience
as possible.
Safer Internet Day is on 8th
February 2011 and the theme this year is 'Virtual Lives', with the strap line
'It's more than a game, it's your life'.
