Glowing Testimonials that Speak Volumes
Similar to a great education, being ‘mannered’ transcends the screen and classroom.
It’s a life skill all kids should have. The curriculum found on manners.io is a great, free resource that will help educators initiate useful conversations and build lasting character in students.”
Lindsey Hagan
Principal & Mom
The internet is fairly recent, but character and kindness are ancient.
I love thinking about a future where kids are taught good internet manners alongside their ABCs. Not only for our kids’ sakes, but also for the impact it can have on parents. And let’s be honest, many of us need to stick these manners on our fridge!
Heath Wilson
Co-Founder, Aro, Father of 4 teenagers
The internet and social media are amazing tools, but the line between positive and negative effect has become very blurred in our society.
I constantly warn my children that if they put their validation in the hands of social media or perceptions from the internet, they will always have to keep going back to it to define their worth. That’s why I’m so thankful this project is shining a light on how to use these tools in a positive way.
Dr. Jared Bigham
Co-Founder, MyCredential, Father of 4
I often fear the next generation isn’t learning how to have healthy, respectful human interaction.
It’s important for all of us to show and experience love and care through our words. I hope this project will educate our youth and reintroduce respect and positivity in human communications.

I believe the world needs this content.
I was raised in a home that prized good manners. Now, as a mom, I strive to teach my kids good manners, too, but in a very different cultural moment. Now we interact with people both in person and digitally, which means there are new manners that need to be taught.

The internet has the ability to expand our kids imagination and equally ruin their relationships.
The good internet manners project gives the possibility for the hope of the web to bring people together once again. I’ve shared the premise with my kids and hope they share with their friends!
