Be Internet Awesome curriculum for teachers and educators of students aged 9-12

Welcome to the Be Internet Awesome curriculum, a collaboration between Google, The Net Safety Collaborative, and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition. This resource is part of the Be Internet Awesome program designed to help teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart online. It covers five fundamental topics:

• Share with Care: Digital Footprint and Responsible Communication
• Don’t Fall for Fake: Phishing, Scams, and Credible Sources
• Secure Your Secrets: Online Security and Passwords
• It’s Cool to Be Kind: Combating Negative Online Behavior
• When in Doubt, Talk It Out: Questionable Content and Scenarios

This curriculum was created for students aged 9-12, however educators with both older and younger students have found value in the lessons, particularly with key vocabulary, class discussions (they age up or down), and gameplay. We encourage you to experiment to find what works best for your learners, whether that means completing the curriculum start to finish or going deep on one or two lessons most needed by your students.
