Be Internet Awesome: The Internet is wonderful, but it is also a dangerous place, especially for children. This is why Google launched a new Be Beyond Awesome project, which aims to teach children smart decisions online.
Most of us had at least a few decades without Internet or, at least, no social networks. Today's children will live all their lives next to cyberspace, leaving traces, which makes it very important to know how they can be secure on the internet.
Be Internet Awesome is one program που βοηθά τα παιδιά να μάθουν τους online κινδύνους του ψηφιακού world και πώς να προστατεύσουν τον εαυτό τους. Το πρόγραμμα περιλαμβάνει έξυπνα online παιχνίδια, καθώς και μακρόχρονη διδακτέα ύλη για εκπαιδευτικούς και σχολεία, βίντεο για τους γονείς που μπορούν να παρακολουθούν μαζί με τα παιδιά.
The "Interland”Gives children four mini-games:
The Tower of Treasure, for example, helps kids learn how to create strong passwords while it is Reality Rever presents 10 multi-choice queries to help identify who and what to trust when connected.
The Kind Kingdom educates children to have ways in the Internet, which is extremely welcome given the phenomenon of online bullying.
The Mindful Mountain, the last of the games, and focuses on how important it is to share information with just a few people you trust, not someone connected to the internet.
Games are entertaining and have been developed in such a way that they are educational. Google created this platform after collaborating with online security agencies: the Online Family Safety Institute, the Internet Keep Safe Coalition and ConnectSafely.
Hopefully with the help of these tools, educators, parents and children will learn the dangers we all face online and how to protect ourselves from various scams circulating.
