			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Wednesday, Washington, D.C. hosts the third annual <a href="http://www.fosi.org/cms/index.php/ann-conf-09-overview.html" target="_blank">Family Online Safety Institute Conference.</a> Nearly 400 web safety experts from around the world will be attending the event, which aims to address a range of issues children face when they use the internet.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s most intriguing about this years conference is the new perspective many experts are beginning to have when it comes to keeping kids safe online. The danger of online predators are being dialed down, but while this obviously still remains a pressing concern, research by the <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/pubrelease/isttf/" target="_blank">Internet Safety Technical Task Force</a> indicates that a more immediate problem lies with children encountering peer-to-peer bullying and self-destructive online behaviors.</p>
<p>Instead of increasing the fear factor for children staying safe online, conference speakers, including CNET safety blogger, <a href="http://news.cnet.com/safe-and-secure/?tag=bc" target="_blank">Larry Magid</a> will be placing an emphasis on media literacy and digital citizenship, encouraging kids to be positive internet users.</p>
<p>The two-day conference will also feature a range of workshops and sessions on subjects such as playing online games responsibly and how to use mobile devices safely. Find out more about how to register for the event, <a href="http://www.fosi.org/cms/index.php/ann-conf-09-overview.html" target="_blank">here. </a></p>
