Raveena and Elizabeth developed and implemented a curriculum to teach children how to use the internet safely, responsibly, and respectfully. Recognizing that children are accessing digital spaces at younger ages, they created engaging, age-appropriate lessons focused on online safety, digital footprints, and the mental and physical impacts of improper internet use. Their curriculum incorporated interactive activities to reinforce learning and improve retention, while equipping students with practical skills for navigating the online world.
