Media Awareness Network Helps Youth Earn their Passport to the Internet Media Awareness Network (MNet) recently launched Passport to the Internet, a new online tutorial funded by Inukshuk Wireless Learning Plan Fund and TELUS, to help students in Grades four to eight develop the critical thinking skills they need to navigate the Web in a secure and ethical manner.

"The Internet is such an integral part of young people’s daily lives—communicating with friends, doing homework, playing games. It’s up to educators and parents to ensure that they have the necessary critical thinking skills to navigate the Net safely and wisely" says MNet Co-Executive Director Jane Tallim. "With Passport to the Internet we have built on our previous Web literacy games and developed a more comprehensive, more interactive, and more technically sophisticated resource that allows students to interact with environments based on the ones they use daily."
