What rules do you have at home when you are on the computer?

Read a scenario to the class Ask students to identify the red flags that Scott almost passed by in the hope of getting a free iphone

8 SCOTT AND HIS IPHONE Scott is a Fourth Grade student at Honors Elementary School where his class is doing research in the school s computer lab on ways to stay safe and secure while online. The computers at school are all connected to the same network, which holds student s personal information. During Scott s research on the Internet that day he receives several pop-up ads offering free iphones with 12 months of free mobile services including text messages if you accept the free trial subscription of TechIsCool online magazine. Scott knows the school s Acceptable User Policy is very clear about not downloading anything on school computers to protect the network. He knows he shouldn/t but he wants an iphone so badly and doesn t want to miss the opportunity to get the phone for free. Scott clicks on the link offering the free download. Scott gets suspicious when he starts getting additional pop-up ads asking for detailed personal information. He returns to the StaySafeOnline website and reads all about the potential harm in accepting free downloads. Scott changes his mind, doesn t provide personal information, and returns to his research on cyber security. WHICH MAJOR C3 CONCEPT DID SCOTT ALMOST VIOLATE? 1. Cyber Safety 2. Cyber Security 3. Cyber Ethics 0% RD TO 5 TH GRADERS (CONT) Small group exercise Break into groups of 3 or 4 Read the scenario assigned Answer the questions at the end of each scenario on the forms provided.

9 MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Same steps as for the previous group except the scenarios are more indepth Large Group exercise same as Upper Elementary Small Group similar but must fill out a chart instead of answering questions. Responses may be different due to the experiences of the students involved. MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL SCENARIO Brian has a research paper due next week on the impact of cyber security threats to our national security. He was supposed to have been doing research on this project for the past month, but kept putting it off, and is now in a crunch for time! Rather than find the research, read through it, and paraphrase the key points, Brian thinks it is easier to simply cut and paste some of the paragraphs directly into his paper. He fails to cite many of the publications he copies the information from directly into his paper, thinking there is now way that his teacher will ever know the difference. WHICH MAJOR C3 CONCEPT DID BRIAN VIOLATE? 1. Cyber Safety 2. Cyber Security 3. Cyber Ethics 0% 0% 0% 1 2 3
