Be Internet Awesome is a new free resource from Google that takes players through a series of challenges that educate kids about internet safety in a non-threatening way.  The activities are designed for Grades 3-5, but may be suitable for older students. You know your kids best!  The site explores five topics on digital citizenship and safety:
