KS3 Metadata & Online Security (2/5)
<p>Part of a sequence of 5 lessons aimed primarily at KS3 but also adaptable to KS4 on Cyber Security and Online Privacy.</p>
<p>In this second lesson, students are introduced to the concept of metadata in the context of online communications, and explore the implications of metadata sharing and leakage. The final activity in the lesson gets the students to start thinking about the concept of a threat model and the ways to design one for each person’s specific requirements.</p>
<p>The lessons offer up-to-date knowledge on how to keep oneself secure and private online, with activities ranging from password security checks to the students designing their own threat model.<br />
Most of the activities require computers or iPads with internet access as they require use of websites or online research.<br />
The lessons are designed both to impart current knowledge and to make students think about their own privacy and security practices based on their own preferences and routines.</p>
