KS3 Intro to Cyber Security & Privacy (1/5)

Part of a sequence of 5 lessons aimed primarily at KS3 but also adaptable to KS4 on Cyber Security and Online Privacy.

In this first lesson, students are introduced to privacy and security with some independent research and debate tasks, and then they explore password security and the privacy of different messaging apps.

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.
Most of the activities require computers or iPads with internet access as they require use of websites or online research.
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.
