Why teach kids about cybersecurity?
When we all play a part, everyone is safer online.
Students are growing up in a connected world. As an educator, you are not just teaching them to read, write and think critically, you are also shaping how they navigate the digital world and develop safe online habits. By introducing internet safety tips in the classroom, you are helping create a safe space for students to learn, play and explore online.
