The Adventures of Kara, Winston and the SMART Crew
For 7 – 11 year olds, the animation has 5 short episodes that highlight the five different SMART rules. In each episode, the main characters are faced with a difficult online situation and call on the help of the SMART crew. The SMART Crew are a group of online ‘experts’, who listen carefully to Kara and Winston and assist them in making safe and responsible decisions online.
The Adventures of Captain Kara, Winston and the SMART Crew can be viewed in one sitting, or as five separate chapters. Watching each one separately, over the course of a half term programme of study, is preferable; to take full advantage of the suggested SMART follow-up activities, to reinforce the learning that has taken place. The full movie lasts for just over eighteen minutes, and each individual chapter lasts around three and a half minutes.
