Our children are growing up in a digital world with technology right at their fingertips. They’re spending more and more time on the web—so teaching them safe and responsible online behavior is critical. As a media and entertainment company, NBCUniversal is committed to educating parents, teachers and children on using technology responsibly and safely.


That’s why we’ve created Growing Up Online: A Must Have Guide for Parents, Teachers, and Kids, a book on digital literacy and Internet safety and the first release from The More You Know Learning Series in partnership with NBC News. The book was developed with guidance from Common Sense Media and NetSmartz Workshop – the leading organizations in these areas.

Growing Up Online provides a rich learning tool for parents and teachers of children 6-9 years old, as well four video comic book stories for kids to view in your tablet’s web browser. This two-part guide features easy-to-use and compelling content, engaging instructional online videos, discussion questions and key takeaways for conversations about issues of concern. The first part, The Parent Primer, prepares parents for discussions with their children about responsible Internet behavior. Part two, the Parents + Kids Section, features links to four entertaining video comic stories focused on real-life situations that may arise when kids go online.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Book that every parent and teacher, and student should own!

Since I volunteer in helping children with homework and how to use the computer, do research, I wanted to know as much as possible in order to assist these children online and offline. This book is truly AMAZING! It was just what I was looking for and so much more. The information in this book covers many aspects of internet life on a regular PC, smartphone and tablet.
Many young children and also older children own a smartphone, or tablet or computer or at least have access to one or all of these.
My older students learn all they can and then end up teaching their younger friends or family members how to use the smartphones, computers, tablets, etc.

*This book explains what a parent, teacher or student needs to know about ALL aspects of the Internet and also about APPS. There are some out there that could be harmful to a child (these include certain websites and even Apps).

What I found the most useful is the section is the section on Checking Your Child's Browsing History. Also the section about Cookies is most helpful.

This is a wonderful book to read now and to save for later as a reference book.

Highly recommend this book!

As a kid, I decided to read this and understand what my parents might choose for me. But lots of how to books are lame. I wouldn't call this lame just confusing. There's too much graphics for a Kindle to fit into the screen. It didn't catch my particular interest but it gave "good" advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable advice for keeping my kids safe in the scary digital age.

Sometimes it can be hard to find a balance between protecting my children and over-protecting them. Every news story I hear of something horrific happening to a child who connected to someone online who seemed innocent makes me want to bad the internet from my home. But I can't do that - this generation like none other must be comfortable and familiar with everything the internet has to offer by the time they head out to the real world. This book is full of logical advice for helping my children frow up SAFELY and fully efficient with internet use at the same time. Thanks so much!

Growing Up Online:A must Have Guide for Parents, Teachers and Kids is a great guide for parents, teachers (Digital Immigrants) to work with kids ( Digital Natives)It gives good simple and clear explanations of the various terms used online. The video comic book is a good visual explanation of those specific areas(cyberbullying, giving out personal information, appropriate websites for young people)that a parent, teacher or concerned adult can have in a conversation with the young people in their lives.

This book has so much good advice in it, and brilliant practical tips as well as useful resources to use as a parent, and with children. I am really impressed with the level of information and practical application it contains especially as it's not all that long.
The only reason it has not 5stars is that I could not watch the videos on my iPad, and the website kept crashing when I tried to access them that way. It would of been a lot more useful if the 'teachable moments' videos would load as I would be keen to watch them with our children.
