Digiduck: An educational, e-safety story app for 3-7 years

Internet Matters Team | June 22nd, 2016

Internet Matters supports parents and professionals with comprehensive resources and expert guidance to help them navigate the ever-changing world of child internet safety.

Working with Childnet, we’ve turned their charming storybook into a tablet app that parents and children can enjoy together. Like the book, the story app follows Digiduck and his pals in a story of friendship and responsibility online.

The story has been created to help parents teach children aged 3-7 years of age how to be a good friend online. It’s a great way to start the conversation about what they should expect from the online world and how to stay safe.

Narrators of the story, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her mum Janet Ellis really bring the story to life and help young children think about how to be a good friend online.
