Welcome to the Internet Awesome Curriculum, a collaboration between Google and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition (iKeepSafe.org). This resource is part of Be Internet Awesome, a multifaceted program designed to teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart online.
The Internet Awesome Curriculum gives educators the tools and methods they need to teach digital safety fundamentals in the classroom. The lesson plans, best suited for grades 3 to 5, bring the most critical teachings to the surface—acting as backup for educators priming students to be safe and responsible digital citizens.
Our fundamental topics of digital citizenship and safety—the Internet Code of Awesome— are:
• Share with Care (Be Internet Smart)
• Don’t Fall for Fake (Be Internet Alert )
• Secure Your Secrets (Be Internet Strong)
• It’s Cool to Be Kind (Be Internet Kind)
• When in Doubt, Talk It Out (Be Internet Brave)
These lessons are delivered via Interland, a playful browser-based game that makes learning about digital safety interactive and fun — just like the Internet itself. Using Interland and the complementary curriculum, educators can pick and choose the activities that best suit their students, or progress through the entire series from start to nish.
The International Society of Technology in Education has recognized Be Internet Awesome as a resource that prepares students to meet the 2016 ISTE Standards for Students and has awarded it with the Seal of Alignment for Readiness.
