In Tomball ISD, we want to prepare our students for a technology rich future. With that in mind we want our students to work and play in a safe environment while online, but know that sometimes that does not happen. To help prepare our students to navigate the digital world we are incorporating Google's Be Internet Awesome program for students in Grades K-5 and Common Sense Media Lessons for students in Grades 6-12.
"To make the most of the Internet, kids need to be prepared to make smart decisions. Be Internet Awesome teaches kids the fundamentals of digital citizenship and safety so they can explore the online world with confidence."
