Internet safety games is a resource I decided to choose, this resource reflects on the popular use of internet games for kids. By providing safe games where students are able to practice their digital citizenship and learn about the dangers of the online world while also being engaged and having fun. These games provide students with information and experience that can allow them to understand certain subjects that need to be learned at an early age. For instance the Childnet game that looks at cyberbullying can have a benefit of giving students the insight into how students may feel when they receive negative comments behind a computer. These games are created at the child's level, but allows them to critically think about what is being said. This is a great way for teachers to further discuss the subject matter in the classroom and have a deeper discussion. This teaches the students to be a responsible online citizen allowing them to think about the consequences and the affects of their actions online.
