Deny Everything, Trust Nobody
It saddens this web admin no end that for evertthing nice we get, like. shiny new peice of tech, or some really cool bit of kit, someone else is thinking of how they can use it to nick your perosnal stuff. Cybersecurity is about more than keeping passwords secure, although that's important too! Cyber security is about keeping yourself, your friends, family and loved ones safe, while keeping their data safe and teaching those around you who aren't as tech savvy basics of being tech savvy. Don't presume for a second that you know all this, cybersecurity is an ever-evolving discipline.
This first worksheet invites users to register at https://groklearning.com/ to complete the first two Cybersecurity lessons. Equally, they could be considred homework for the first two weeks of the topic...
The short version here is this:
This teacher is known in his school as being a lot of a stickler for privacy and security. It is not my intent to fill my students' heads with my opinion. It is my intent to educate students based on the syllabus content presented and encourage them to make their own decisions based on that content and their learning.
Therefore to start this topic, this teacher is removing himself and his opinions from the classroom. Instead the first two activities are from Grok Learning.
And just in case the casual observer doesn't know this web admin's opinion of basic security, here are two presentations to guide your knowledge. Both are designed to be viewed in slideshow mode, hence they both run in-browser.

Let's be very clear: This course is not only in the classroom. This is real world. Students are encouraged to get out of the classroom, and apply this to the real world.
And for students who read this: Apply this knowledge to yourselves, your family, friends, co-worker and your future. Do it by word and deed. Set your strong passwords, use the 2FA, set the privacy setting sky high, protect your data and venerate your privacy. Then help family and friends to do the same
