allow us to go online?
That’s how most of us
keep in touch with friends
and family, take pictures,
do our homework,
research, find out the
latest news, and even

Imagine a child who meets
someone on the internet and
poses as their friend. They
might probe them for personal
information or encourage
illegal or indecent relationships.
Being aware of and practicing
online safety is the only way to
mitigate these risks.
They will always be present but
teaching young people how to
manage harmful situations is
best; place them to benefit
from their time online and be
free from harm.

INTERNET & GOOGLE

SEARCH

Some years ago, a child could wake up to ask their parents

how many minutes an egg boils. Rather than calling out on
a dad/mom, they pick up their phones/tablets to get
answers.

The days of relying on rows of enormous textbooks for

school projects are long gone.

Nowadays, the internet is a one-stop shop for gaining any

resources necessary for learning or extracurricular activity.

With the increase of different content online, students

must understand how to effectively use internet search to
find appropriate quality sources for their task.

GAME DEVELOPMENT

In 2016 the money spent on video games hit $92 billion in

the USA. That was more money than what was spent on
movies and music combined to place that into perspective.

It’s only set to increase further, particularly with the rise in

mobile gaming and virtual reality (VR) technology.

Children who enjoy playing video games today could build

the games of the future. One day, it could be their creative
idea being brought to life.

There's going to be a far higher demand for skilled

developers and programmers in the future.

emphasizes automation quite a bit. Therefore, it is more
