Be Internet Awesome!

In honor of Internet Safety Day this week I thought I'd share some resources again! I had the opportunity to go to a digital security & citizenship event at the Google offices in Chicago. The day was spent sharing resources that schools, educators and parents can use. Here are a few:
  1. Connect Safely Guides- Collection of short guidebooks for parents about popular apps, services, and platforms popular with kids from Connect Safely who host Safer Internet Day.
  2. How Secure Is My Password- Check your password strength and how long it will take for your password to be hacked.
  3. Family Online Safety Institute- Resources and toolkits for talking to parents and students about digital safety. Schools may request a free presentation to share to help you have positive digital parents
  4. LEAP Innovations- Within the LEAP personalized learning framework there are samples of contracts to have with students about good digital citizenship and rules to keep them safe online. There are also strategies for being a learner connected
  5. Be Internet Awesome - Games and curriculum to help teach students to be internet smart, alert, strong, kind and brave! Kids can play their way to being Internet Awesome with Interland, an online adventure that puts the key lessons of digital safety into hands-on practice with four challenging games. Teachers can download the curriculum to use with students.
  6. Digital Citizenship & Safety Course for Educators- Learn about why we teach digital citizenship and safety, online safety on the go, savvy searching, how to stay safe from phishing and more in this short certification course
  7. Family Link (for Android devices)- Create a Google Account for your child that's like your own and lets parents manage apps, keep an eye on screen time and set timers on the device.
