ready to teach your students and their parents how to honor God with tech?

It’s a streaming video curriculum that teaches about the latest digital trends. We do this through a library of short videos and detailed lesson plans. BE TECH READY is one of multiple tools in the PYE Tech Ready School System, offers access to additional resources, including The Protect App, The PYE M1NUTE, and live presentations. Our goal is to help schools and homes create a Christ-centered view of using technology.

Chris McKenna created BE TECH READY. He is the Founder of Protect Young Eyes, which is a constantly updated website used by thousands of parents and organizations, and a team of dedicated presenters that speak at churches and schools around the United States. It’s from this experience that BE TECH READY was created in order to fill the need for Scripture-based digital citizenship curriculum.

Chris is a former middle school youth director and is the current Digital Marketing Director for Covenant Eyes.

Catholic Schools – all video content was edited by a Canon lawyer to ensure adherence to Catholic teaching. Our Founder, Chris McKenna, is trained in Safe Environments. Protect Young Eyes (parent organization) is a member of the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers. We are keenly aware of the need to form children and families in how they use technology safely in an ever-changing digital world.

Non-Catholic, Christian Schools – ever struggle to take secular digital citizenship content and wedge it into your faith-based goals? We understand. It's why we went a different direction and started with Scripture. Turns out God has a lot to say about how we use technology!

Home Educators – What’s good for schools is even better for you. And at a very reasonable price.

Relevant. We satisfy E-rate requirements for digital citizenship. We align with standards and benchmarks for technology integration used in accreditation. We satisfy safe-environment education requirements for students. Catholic TOB requirements are coming!

Grounded. Most digital citizenship curriculum uses outdated content and age-splits, and avoids spiritual matters. Be Tech Ready is built on eight key Scripture passages. We address the latest digital trends, including “tricky people,” pornography, social media, cyberbullying, sexting, reputations, and digital footprints. The videos are constantly updated. We strategically split all content into grades K-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, so that kids receive age-appropriate instruction on delicate topics.

Flexible. Our videos can be used whenever they fit into a class. Only have 15 minutes? Great! Show your 8th graders one video, ask 1-2 of our questions, copy and paste our bilingual note to parents into an email. Done!

There are different pricing levels based on the size of your organization, but here is what's included in all pricing levels:
