Help Your Students Learn to Be Internet Awesome
"Our partners at Google have created a series of tools to help. Through the Be Internet Awesome program, Google’s built a digital world called “Interland” to teach K-6 students about everything from safely communicating online to dealing with cyberbullying. The game is accompanied by an ISTE-aligned curriculum for teachers, free slide decks for each of the lessons in the curriculum, and more resources to help teachers navigate this complex and ever changing subject."

Here is an opportunity to allow students to be creative with their coding. Never coded before? No worries! The folks at Google via CS First have created help guides for you and self-paced videos for your students to give it a try.
