Tynker: All About Computers

10 episodes

Tynker's All About Computers turns computer-science basics into short animated stories starring a cast of fuzzy monsters and their classmates. This set gathers the strand on digital citizenship and online safety, the part of the series a class needs first when it starts sharing devices. Sorted from kindergarten up through fifth grade, seven episodes each hand students one idea to hold onto: ask before you copy someone's work, build a password you keep to yourself, tell a scam or an unkind message from the real thing, and know when to bring a trusted adult in. Each runs three to five minutes.
