Google
is spearheading an educational campaign to teach pre-teen children how to
protect themselves from scams, predators and other trouble.
The
program announced Tuesday is called "Be Internet Awesome." Google
coordinated the curriculum with several online safety groups, including the
Family Online Safety Institute, the Internet Keep Safe Coalition and Connect
Safely.
The
lessons are tailored for kids ranging from eight to 12 years old, a time when
many of today's children are getting their own smartphones and other devices
that connect to the internet. To make the experience more fun, Google and its
partners developed a game called "Interland" to help teach children
about the ins and outs of online safety.
Google
is encouraging teachers to use elements of its program in their classrooms,
too.
Many-Many Happy Returns of the Day:
