Digital Citizenship with Google's 'Be Internet Awesome'



For the past two weeks, 4th and 5th graders at Sibley and Lakeview have been working on Digital Citizenship presentations for their classmates. We used Google's Be Internet Awesome curriculum as a guide for our presentations. 

The five main concepts taught in this curriculum are:

It's Cool to be Kind (Cyberbullying)
Secure your Secrets (Strong Passwords)
Share with Care (Think Before You Share)
Don't Fall for Fake (Phishing)
When in Doubt, Talk it Out (Tell a Trusted Adult)

These concepts teach students to be:


I was so impressed by the group presentations, skits, posters, and game shows!


When students were done presenting, they explored Interland, the online game that supports the Be Internet Awesome digital citizenship curriculum. The students really enjoyed playing through the Interland games on their Chromebooks!
