The program sounds great. The creators have taken something that many children enjoy (computer programs) and have used it as a teaching tool. Provided that the software program engages children and teaches them about internet safety, this could be used in all of our schools. It is in these situations that children seem to learn best as they are learning the lessons in a way that they enjoy, not through one-sided instruction. A teacher could create a classroom discussion after the children use the program by asking questions such as, "what clues were helpful in finding the missing child?".

I think you're onto something... I think it is best if there is a real educator involved with these issues... software can be used for support, or reinforcement perhaps.
