g.co/DigitalCitizenshipCourse - Digital citizenship and safety course for educators.
Our approach:
Empowering kids to be safe, confident digital citizens is critical - but isn't something any one group can solve alone.
Starting the conversation about your own personal safety online, checking passwords - It is becoming more and more complicated in the digital world and the least we can do is prepare children to keep themselves safe.
1: Internet Safety: Setting a strong password - We need to do a better job at protecting ourselves. Forming different codes to create your password (Could practise this with kids). Easy to remember - hard to break. Something you know or something you have. Change passwords once a year. 2-step verification.
2: Online Safety: Mobile security - safe downloads. Open network vs secure network - open networks have the opportunity to use your passwords to log into your accounts as they can track everything you are typing in.
3: Savvy Searching: Evaluate credibility of online sources of information. Just because the video has been made does not mean that it is true. Understanding what is real/what is not real. Teaching kids how to understand this - asking questions - having discussions about this. (BBC penguin flying video).
4: Phishing Sites: False websites - Always check the URL. As soon as you put your information into these sites you give hackers access to all your passwords and information you use to login. Make sure it has the green lock and https (secure).
5: Manage Your Online Reputation: Protecting sensitive information, privacy and security settings, guidelines for better digital citizenship, where to report bad content. Where is your information been shown? Google your name (best place to start) - where is your stuff online. Think about employers.
What you share can be; forwarded, copied, found - Everything you put on the internet is there forever regardless of whether you delete it or not.
