PTA Connected with Be Internet Awesome

The 200 PTA Connected Be Internet Awesome Grantees were awarded with $1,000 to host a Be Internet Awesome family workshop during the 2018-2019 school year. In addition to the grant, all grantees received a Be Internet Awesome kit. You can host an event without the grant funding by using our toolkit below. 

  • Each kit is bilingual—with materials in English and Spanish—and includes the following to help you run your workshop:
  • A Google Pixelbook to power the workshop
  • A ready-made presentation covering topics like online safety, digital citizenship and digital tips and resources to create a positive digital experience
  • Family Guides for workshop participants to inspire collaborative learning and spark conversations at home about topics including online reputation and social sharing, phishing and scams, privacy and security, cyberbullying, inappropriate content and more
  • School posters to remind students to be smart, alert, strong, kind and brave
    A banner to show school spirit and remind parents, students and the PTA to Be Internet Awesome together
  • Exclusive PTA Be Internet Awesome trophy keepsake
