Google Creates Games to Help Kids Learn About Online Safety

The Internet is a wonderful place, but it can also be a dangerous one to be in, especially for children. That's why Google has launched a new project called Be Internet Awesome, which seeks to teach children to make smart decisions online. 

Most of us got at least a few decades to live our lives offline, or, at the very least, without social networks around. Kids nowadays will live their entire lives in cyberspace, leaving traces behind them as they go, which makes it that much more important that they know how to be safe online. 

Be Internet Awesome is a program that helps children learn about the dangers of the online world and how to protect themselves. The project involves clever online games, as well as lengthy curriculum for teachers and school and videos for parents to watch alongside kids.
