I am not suer how the computer game helps children to be more safe when in chat rooms and online, in general. I know, from my experiance, working in a classroom with children ranging from grade one to three, that they did not really understand the importance of what they were doing online. There were a number of games and activitie to choose from, but the children all tended to gravitate towards the games that had a lot of visual cues and constant action.
Maybe the children I worked with are a little younger than the age group that this game is targetted at, or maybe I am just skeptical but, I am not so sure that this game is great, or that it truly teaches children about the dangers of the internet.
I'm not sure either, and I wasn't presenting it as a solution. I think that it is up to the ECE educators like yourself to be looking at these sorts of technologies, discussing them with your peers and making decisions. And you've just started doing that. Great.
