#TechTipTuesday – CyberSafe Privacy Prodigy
Every Tuesday I share a Tech Tip on our social media pages to assist our staff in their use of technology as it relates to their role.
May 6-10 marks Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) which is an annual event to raise awareness within the public sector and the broader community about the importance of protecting and respecting personal information. If you are curious about how to approach this topic with students, I recommend the Mincraft EDU module: CyberSafe – Privacy Prodigy!
This module covers the following skills:
Keep login information private
Discuss real-world cybersecurity problems and how personal information can be protected.
Explain how physical and digital security measures protect electronic information.
Consider ways of managing the use of social media to maintain privacy needs
Discuss digital citizenship rules and behaviors for participating in an online environment
Apply safe practices while participating in online environments
Use technology safely, respectfully, and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behavior; identify a range of ways to report concerns aboutcontent and contact.
