As technology continues to evolve, it’s essential for young people to understand the basics of AI and online safety. Gen and Discovery Education have partnered to create a free video series, “Think Smart: Exploring AI and Staying Safe Online,” designed for students in grades 3-8.
The video series aims to help children and young people understand how AI works and how to use it responsibly. The lessons introduce key concepts such as where AI appears in everyday life and how to recognize potential risks.
Norton has partnered with Discovery Education and the National AfterSchool Association on My Digital Life since 2023. The platform provides teachers with standards-aligned instructional resources to help students develop essential digital citizenship skills.
