Educators Can Use The NCSA’s K-12 Cyber Security Awareness Toolkit

Educating our youth on how to avoid cyber criminals is extremely important for their own safety and understanding on how to be good cyber citizens.  As a way to raise student’s cyber security and safety awareness, we’re asking educators to show NCSA’s Cyber Security Basics DVD in their classes.

Teach Weekly Security and Safety Awareness Lesson Plans

Moreover, we're asking all educators to teach a different cyber security, safety and ethics lesson each week during National Cyber Security Awareness Month. To make it easier for educators, NCSA teamed up with USA Today Education Foundation and Symantec to develop topical lesson plans, which will be released each week during NCSAM 2007. Here are the NCSAM 2006 weekly topics for each lesson plan for October. (2007 Lesson Plans – Uploaded on September 28th)
