We live in a world that is digitally connected. The internet has truly transformed how we do things, and dramatically changed our lives… so as our children’s. Many children today use the internet on a regular basis, whether for surfing, watching or playing games.
And with a variety of platforms and content available on the Internet, children are often exposed to scams, cyber-bullying, and explicit content that can harm their development – both psychologically and emotionally.
Just as we teach our kids how to become good people and US citizens, we also need to guide them on how to behave and interact online.
To help you, we have developed an engaging and easy to implement digital literacy program that teaches children the basics of Internet safety while empowering you —the parent(s)—to participate in the course curriculum.
This program consists of a curriculum with 13 lessons accompanied by handouts, assessments, educational videos, and family tip sheets.
Each lesson is followed up with talking points to open the door to valuable conversations between you (parent) and your child (children).
