Abstract:
This study is a part of a bigger project that tries to analyze the risks and safety of children currently on Internet. Specially, the project investigates about problems that children find when they are surfing trough mobile devices. The project, which is funded by the BioTic Granada Campus of the University of Granada is aimed to collect and study different type of available resources for achieving safe environments in mobile devices for children. These resources are not only technical solutions but didactic and pedagogical tools too. The project was designed in 5 different stages including literature review, design and implementation of safety policies, testing, analysis of results and dissemination. In this communication we are going to present one of the results of this project, the creation of a website in which we collect part of the useful information analyzed in the stage of literature review. The information is classified in three blocks: risks, technical resources and didactic resources. In this way, the two last blocks try to give solutions for the contents in the first block. Furthermore, it gives a set of references in each part as well as additional information.
