It was a cool way to launch a new book on an important subject. Teenagers and teachers from all over Europe recently converged at the European Parliament in Brussels to promote the educational handbook The Web we Want . The handbook for 13-16 year olds, developed by European Schoolnet in partnership with Liberty Global and us, outlines how teenagers can benefit from the web while staying safe. Click here to download.
For now, the book is only available in English. In 2014, our goal is to make the handbook available in eight additional languages.
The new handbook is just the latest of our educational materials. The YouTube Digital Citizenship Curriculum helps high school teachers educate their students on how to flag dangerous content. Classes from the Google Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum identify online tricks and scams. In Germany we’ve partnered with local NGO`s to publish a set of lesson plans to address topics like online reputation. The 250-page curriculum is available for free.
For updates on our efforts to support kids, students, teachers and parents exploring the web in a safe and confident way make sure to check our education resources and Good to Know page.
