BIA 4 ALL is a set of resources aimed at supporting educators and NGOs who would like to develop digital competencies of children with individual educational needs. It has been created and developed as part of the Be Internet Awesome (BIA) – a digital citizenship program teaching kids how to be alert, brave, kind, smart, and strong online.

Children with individual educational needs display different patterns of internet use and behavior in online settings. While some of them might require tailored approaches and specific modifications to the curriculum, what they all have in common is they can leverage opportunities provided by the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. In BIA, we work with the following groups of children with individual educational needs:
To cater to their individual needs, we have partnered with internationally renowned scholars and practitioners to create evidence-based guides for educators and NGOs ( “Research” tab) and gathered useful websites and practical resources (“Toolkit” tab). To see the effects of our work on adapting the BIA curriculum to children’s individual needs, see the testimonies of teachers and students (“Impact stories” tab).
