Be Internet Awesome! Event

By
Hello everyone today I will be talking about an event Be Internet Awesome that I went to on Valintine's day at Phaya Thai School (โรงเรียนพญาไท). The event was about a game that Google made called Interland. I wrote about it before on my blog (Interland - Be Internet Awesome from Google). So to keep it simple the game was made for kids to play and to let kids know about the hackers and other bad things about the internet.


The game teaches about 5 being able to think before you do something, being able to detect fake news, how to make a strong password, being kind to others and lastly if you have any questions you can ask. To put it all in order is Smart, Alert, Strong, Kind and Brave.

  1. Share with Care (Be Internet Smart): What you share online has the potential to be forwarded, copied and found.
  2. Don’t Fall for Fake (Be Internet Alert): Always think critically before acting online; if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  3. Secure Your Secrets (Be Internet Strong): Safeguarding your valuable information helps you avoid damaging devices, reputations and relationships.
  4. It’s Cool to Be Kind (Be Internet Kind): Block mean-spirited or inappropriate behavior online and use the Internet to spread positivity.
  5. When in Doubt, Talk It Out (Be Internet Brave): It’s important to be able to speak to trusted adults about anything suspicious you encounter online.
So people from the Google staff and the ministry of education was at the event. I even made friends with the person in charge of marketing and some other people for Google as well.


I still don't know how I got to meet them in person. I met someone from Google (not going to say their name), but we had a lot of things in common! She said that when she was young she didn't like to learn or speak Thai, but she got a job (which is the job she has now) about Google in Thailand. She also said that we were a lot better at talking in English in Thai and then I said the same thing too! We then talked a lot more about other things. Then someone came in (who also worked in Google) said: "hey she kinda reminds me of you" which surprised me a lot! When the grand opening was finished I went to go teach some kids.


I was the teacher's assistant that whole day because we had to teach some kids about the game and let them play the game. It was a lot of fun and I even became friends with some of the kids there too! I also talked to the person in charge of the event and hosted the event altogether (K.Pui Supitida) and she gave a gift. She asked me what kind of snacks/food I want to eat and I said "Macaroons!" she answered " Okay! Next time let's eat at a macaroon restaurant!.


Also, my Dad told me why we were invited to go to the event (more than teaching reasons.) It was because he used to work for a company that worked for Google and I said "huh... wait...WHAT???!!". I was surprised because my dad never told me about this. The company that he worked for was called "The S Curve" which I don't really know, but that doesn't really matter! Right now I am still confused as to what job to do in the future (which was also one of the topics that I talked about which the person that I made friends with today.)


I am thinking maybe I should work for Google like my dad or be a doctor like my mom, but maybe the Google option is probably better.

Interland - Be Internet Awesome from Google

By
Hello everyone! It is me Focus and today I will be talking about Interland from Google! You might be confused about what Interland is. So Interland is a game that was created by Google to let kids play. The game teaches about the internet.  Interland - Be Internet Awesome  There are 4 stages. The first stage teaches you that we need to be nice to everyone on the internet and that we should learn who are the bullies and who are the innocent. The second stage is about information on the internet. We should know which news are lies and which are true. We can't let our selves be deceived by the fake news on the internet! Don't just trust what everything on the internet is true! We must know which is true and fake. The third stage is about who we should share our information about on the internet, for example, your location of where you know you should send it to your friends and family, not the public. There is also information about your number, ID number and sec...

it's the weekends!

By
Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about the holidays! I know the Title says weekends, but weekends and holidays are pretty similar don't you think? Anyways today I was thinking of doing the Inktober challenge. It is a challenge for artists to draw something new or scary every day in October. Being in an Asia country has its benefits but also some downers as well, for example, there is no snow in Thailand (this is my opinion by the way), no Europe holidays which is kind of a bummer, to be honest. I love Europe holidays. Thailand's Holidays aren't really that great, but my favourite holiday in Thailand is Songkran day. It is because you get very refreshed during the day. You can also fight with other people with water guns or water balloons. I mean it is October with Halloween and all of those spooky things in Europe that we don't have in Thailand. I miss trick or treating when I was a kid, but they don't celebrate Halloween or Christmas in Thailand. Which is ki...
