Digital Citizenship "Webonauts Academy":
Webonauts Internet Academy is a web original game for PBS KIDS GO! that gives kids 8- to 10-year-olds an opportunity to have some fun while exploring what it means to be a citizen in a web-infused‚ information-rich world. It is an engaging experience on its own but becomes all the more powerful when parents and teachers use game play as a springboard for conversations about media literacy and citizenship in the 21st Century.
