Units
Two units are ready. More are on the way, one at a time.
Unit 1: Your Digital Footprint
What you leave online, why it lasts, and five habits to keep it safe. Includes the Footprint Sorter game and a self-guided quiz.
Unit 2: Spotting Scams and Phishing
Warning signs, fake links, gift card tricks, and what to do: stop, check, ask. Includes the Scam or Safe? game and a self-guided quiz.
How these lessons work
- Short and clear. New words are explained the first time they show up.
- Real sources. Advice comes from groups like the FTC and CISA, listed at the end of each unit.
- No shame. Everyone makes mistakes online. The skill is knowing what to do next, and when to ask a trusted adult.
