"Finally, an app for my kids to learn how to make good decisions!" Excessive screen time, cyberbullying, sexting, reputation ruin, and predator threats are REAL. Phones and tech can wreak havoc in families and communities. Get the free UpGo app, the fun and easy way for teenagers and pre-teens -- as well as parents, teachers and youth leaders -- to learn key life skills for cyber safety and tech success!

FREE KNOWLEDGE PACK: TOP TIPS FOR TECH SUCCESS!

Engaging video lessons, quizzes and discussion questions reveal:

-The secret to more ups and less downs in life.
-THE top tip for cyber safety (Hint: SSSS!)

-Pause before you post. Why to stay away from the, "but I was just joking" gray areas.

UpGo is UNIQUE!

-LIFE SKILLS: No academic lessons here! UpGo teaches key success-enabling life skills not taught in most schools.
-STUDENT-FOCUSED: UpGo talks right to students (while most other educational products "train the trainer" in the hopes the info will be "passed down").
-SMARTPHONE-BASED: Learning content is delivered via the only thing young people pay attention to these days -- their cell phone! (iPads supported too!)
-VIDEOS: Engaging videos deliver the knowledge (no boring powerpoints!)
-SHORT INFO-CHUNKS: Ideal for busy schedules (and those with short attention spans!).
-CO-LEARNING: UpGo is two apps in one. Adults and students use their linked apps to learn together and discuss key topics for increased connection!
-ACCOUNTABILITY: Parents, teachers or facilitators can assign courses and track progress to ensure knowledge acquisition.

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT!

UpGo teaches youth to fish, rather than giving them a fish, as the saying goes. UpGo believes in today's youth...believes they can and will make good decisions when given the proper knowledge and training. UpGo helps them learn:
-How to handle new or tough situations.
-How to manage strong emotions.
-How to make thoughtful decisions.
-When, who and how to ask for help.
UpGo's empowerment-through-education approach can have long-lasting benefits over other methods that spoon-feed or talk down to teens, or are cartoony, or that give scripted responses or a bullet list of do's and don'ts.

UpGo is not a parental control app or cell phone monitoring software. UpGo's approach is education that empowers today's youth to be confident, safe and prepared.

EXTRA: ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM BY UPGO available as a very low-cost, one-time (not subscription) in-app purchase.

UpGo's Anti-Bullying Program is comprehensive curriculum for teens and pre-teens and includes these powerful anti-bullying tools:

-The APA Technique (Assess, Plan then Act). Gives students a tool to thoughtfully figure out what to do when they see bad behavior, instead of acting hastily in emotion.
-The BullyFISH Bully Detector(tm). This is the full version of the Top Tips' summary video. It covers bullying laws, how to tell true bullying from just meanness, and many what-if scenarios.
-Bullying PEACE Plan(tm) gets the bullying to stop. The PEACE acronym -- for Partner with someone to help, Empathize, Ask to stop, Command to stop, and Escalate to authorities -- guides students through an easy-to-use framework to discuss a dozen bullying response tactics and when each tactic might be most appropriate.
BONUS: A parent and up to 5 linked child accounts can share the single in-app purchase.

-With a school or youth group? Bulk purchase discounts available.
-Are you a youth subject matter expert? Put your course in UpGo!
