NetSmartz

NetSmartz is an interactive, educational safety resource, developed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, that teaches children and teens how to stay safe on the Internet.

NetSmartz combines the newest technologies available and the most current information to create high-impact educational activities that are well received by even the most tech-savvy kids.

• Children (Grades K thru 2nd) learn about Internet safety concepts from “Clicky” an animated friendly and hip robot. Kids
• Children (Grades 3rd thru 6th) learn about online risks and Internet safety from two Internet cyber-siblings “Nettie” and “Webster”.
• Children (5th Grade and older) are taught Internet safety principles through storytelling and real-life examples told by teens.

The NetSmartz program includes group discussions to reinforce the concepts. The educational program for Kindergarten through 4th Grade is 30 minutes in length.  The presentations for 5th Grade and older run 45 minutes.  All programs are presented by a specially trained Alliance For Children staff member or volunteer.
