The reason for this course
training This proposal seeks to contribute to social organizations, areas of government and other issues related to children and youth acquire knowledge and enhance work on projects related to the right of children and adolescents to a safe and responsible use of information technologies and communication technologies (ICTs).
organizations involved in protecting and promoting children's rights are everyday references on the phenomena of violence to which children and adolescents are exposed through Site and other technologies and how their rights are violated: the invasion of privacy, harassment by adults (grooming), bullying peer (cyberbullying), the use of children in pornography, child sexual exploitation (ESI) and all forms of sexual violence for which the Internet has become a new stage in which the aberrant production of materials linked to ESI and their distribution is a growing phenomenon.
believe that the way to work the concept of Responsible Use of ICT from the organizations is to install capacity in the same building to promote the work strategies to help children girls and adolescents to develop criteria for navigation and interaction online, from a respectful and caring of one's own mental and physical integrity of others.
The Safer Internet Programme, for the responsible use of ICT , which carries out Chicos.net supported by SCS and ECPAT since 2006, has developed several actions over this time aimed at preventing these problems and strengthen the capacities of children and youth, their teachers and family and social references needed to address these scourges, while the benefits that entails the introduction of ICTs in society.
will be taken account of regional initiatives, especially those belonging to organizations that make up the Red the right of children and adolescents to a safe and responsible use of information technologies and communication.

The course will take place in an online environment for six weeks. This means that we will use a training platform to present the content, activities, materials and tasks.
The focus of the course is given by the contents and related resources, and support the interaction between the tutor and participants. The tutor will work instances in which the students can recognize, sort out the difficulties that may be present and ensure that materials to which access can be used without problems.
virtual instances will work through the platform for interaction tutor / participant and among all participants, communication for collaborative work, case analysis and discussion, presentation and monitoring of activities.
Participation in the course and communication with their tutor group is basically asynchronous. This implies that there is no specific hours provided for access to online learning environment. However, to achieve the purposes and the decision of tasks in a collaborative way, it has established a weekly working schedule. So, every Monday held the opening of new content and working instructions, and the closure of each of the tasks that the students performed the previous week.
Obviously, for this strategy is feasible and yields results, it is essential that participants have adequate connectivity and access to Internet services each week to advance the process.
is proposed for training a constructivist philosophy, which lets you build the concepts and learning activities among all participants. It will use real background tasks that allow transfer and apply the concepts and situations that have arisen in different organizations around the safe use of Internet, new learning to achieve.
