Though the pandemic has only accelerated uptake of digital citizenship education in the US, there is a dearth of evaluation research to guide it. With its Be Internet Awesome curriculum, Google decided to contribute to the evidence base by commissioning rigorous independent review by researchers with deep experience in evaluating online safety education. We will present their findings and detail how the curriculum has been updated in response.
The evaluation research we will be presenting is soon under peer review. Upon release by the authors at the University of New Hampshire’s Crimes Against Children Research Center, the study will also be published in the Center’s website (http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/about/index.html).
