Follow-up question: How do we empower #educators to teach #cyber courses outside of their (possible) comfort zone? #cybersecurityeducation #education #educationpolicy
@thefluffy007 By cyber course, you mean courses about how to best act and protect themselves online, right? You're not asking me, as a teacher, to teach math online, a field I'm not prepared to teach in at all by schooling or otherwise.
If you are referring to cyber, there are plenty of easy entry points into this for teachers. I put together a course, "Data Guardian: Cybersecurity for Educators," that captures the essential concepts. You can find it here - https://courses.tcea.org
It's the responsibility of every educator to build up their own digital safety and citizenship skills. And, since lack of skills means a failure to safeguard sensitive data, their employer should provide training that prepares them. How much preparation depends on the needs of the organization and its workers. #CyberSecurity #digitalcitizenship
@mguhlin that is one part of it. When I was discussing cyber courses - I meant such courses as web exploitation, reverse engineering, networking, etc. While every educator does have the responsibility to build their own digital safety, the information is not being disseminated to every sector of education. That is the crux of my question - how do we provide access to all educators to build their digital safety and cybersecurity education?
