Cyber Safety Campaign: Keep Them Safe..Keep Them Curious
ictQATAR recently launched its "Keep Them Safe, Keep Them Curious" campaign to begin raising awareness about the need for parents to be involved in their child's online safety and to give some basic tips for how to help be more cyber smart.
In a newly launched commercial airing in cinemas, and on television and radio, a typical Qatari family is seen taking easy, smart steps to help keep their children safe online - all without squashing their curiosity. ictQATAR also has a series of advertisements on Doha's streets and various billboards to help raise awareness.
In November 2009, ictQATAR published on its website a number of cyber safety tips on the parental control software solutions that parents can use to ensure a safe online experience. The tips raised a number of questions parents need to ask before deciding on the appropriate software solution, in addition to explaining the differences between free, commercial and built-into-the-computer software that are available for parental control.
In the near future ictQATAR plans to watch a website dedicated to child online safety. The site will be tailored to be appealing to children, parents and teachers, with resources for each on how to be safe online.

Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or curious:
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
“I see and hear daily that you of the Clergy preach one against another, teach one contrary to another, inveigh one against another without charity or discretion. Some be too stiff in their old mumpsimus, others be too busy and curious in their new sumpsimus. Thus all men almost be in variety and discord.”
—Henry VIII (1491–1547)
