Internet Safety Week



INTERNET has become an essential part of how we learn and how we do things, not just at school but also in our day to day lives. However, like any other technology it has two sides; the GOOD and the BAD. We at Pathways, constantly encourage our students to understand and reflect upon both the sides.  Internet Safety is an essential component of our ICT curriculum at Pathways Noida. In order to extend this learning outside the classrooms and make it more effective, we have organised an Internet Safety Week with the central theme “CONNECT WITH CAUTION”.  A lot of interesting competitions have been organised that encourage children to express their views about Internet Safety through poems, artwork, slogans, posters, comic strips, digital graphics, animations and video editing. Students have also participated in Internet Games and Quizzes based on various Internet threats like Identity Theft, Malware, Cyber bullying, Cyber stalking,  leaving Digital Footprints and also the ways to counter these threats. In addition to that, we also organised a special assembly to educate the children about this. We also teach our children that while learning ways and means to keep ourselves secure on Internet, we should also not indulge in acts that violate similar rights of others who share this space.
