Be Internet Awesome with Google

Google's latest offering helps teach children to be safe, confident explorers of the online world.  I used it with a class of Y5 children today and the consensus was overwhelmingly positive. The children play in four areas, tackling hackers, phishers, oversharers and bullies.

Interland is split into the following four worlds:

Kind Kingdom

This game teaches children to be respectful and kind online and to report cyber-bullies.

Mindful Mountain

Here the focus is on sharing information online only with people you trust.

Tower of Treasure

Tower of Treasure is all about making strong passwords...

Reality River

The fourth game teaches children to steer clear of phishers and other fake stuff online.

There's also teacher resources available and a YouTube collaboration in the form of the so-called #BeInternetAwesome challenge - have a look at the videos below to find out more.
