Google designs online safety computer game for kids

In celebration of Internet Safety month, Google has released a classroom curriculum and computer game to teach children about online safety and security, Fortune.com reports.

The program, called "Be Internet Awesome," is part of Google's effort to instill the youth with digital savvy and to encourage people to be good Internet citizens. The company teamed up with YouTube stars like John Green, the author and popular video blogger, to promote the initiative, which includes educational materials aimed at students in the third to fifth grades.

Developed by Google, the online game, called "Interland," invites players to roam around four floating island worlds that contain challenges, puzzles, and quizzes related to online safety. The game is free and available on all major Web browsers (not just Google Chrome!).
