The perfect guide for kids learning to navigate the online world enjoyably and safely

The Internet can be a fun, creative, collaborative place to share, learn and experience the world and connect with all kinds of people. But being a good digital citizen comes with rules and responsibilities. Digital 101 will help children aged 6+ to navigate this sophisticated and ever-changing form of communication through a series of scenarios, from learning how to set a strong password to how to deal with trolls, and most importantly, knowing when it's time to step away from the screen and enjoy the real world all around us.
