Online Safety Computer Game for Kids [web resource] [downloadable]

Google has created Be Internet Awesome, a classroom curriculum and computer game to teach children about online safety and security.

The Be Internet Awesome program helps young people become more Internet savvy and encourages them to be good Internet citizens. A collection of educational materials appropriate for students in the third to fifth grades are also available on the Be Internet Awesome website.

Educators teaching online safety in the classroom can download lesson plans that have received the ISTE Seal of Alignment and classroom activities that bring the fundamental lessons to life..

The online game, called Interland, contain challenges, puzzles, and quizzes related to online safety. The game is free and can be played on all major Web browsers.

Additional classroom resources include a poster of the five foundational lessons of online safety, certificates and badges for each lesson, Google Classroom and Chromebook integration, and a hands-on activity.

If you have concerns about your child, you can arrange a free 30-minute Care Consultation to explore options with an expert. We invite you to call or email our Care Coordinators at 650.688.3625 or careteam@testing.chconline.org to set up an initial Parent Consultation appointment.
