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 06. Here are the weekly topics for each lesson plan for October.

EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Task Force Resource Kit for National Cyber Security Awareness Month

Educause, a non-profit association that represents institutions of higher education, has a toolkit for universities and colleges interested in participating in National Cyber Security Awarness Month. The toolkit provides examples NCSAM events that were held at colleges all over the country last year, and a worksheet to help you organize your own campus event.
