About

Your CyberFeet is a program created for children to be administered by teachers, parents, librarians, troop
leaders, etc. Your CyberFeet features a video series titled “The Howards: Hopping Through CyberSpace.” The
Howards, as well as Your CyberFeet, will initially focus on one basic premise: the importance of one’s digital footprint.

Your CyberFeet will contain distinct modules for the following grade groups: Pre-K, K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12. As the child ages, more information and deeper understanding will be explored.

Each module will contain a short video, a discussion guide for the leader, a worksheet or other project for the children to complete to demonstrate understanding, and additional resources for further study as desired. In total, each module will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
