Brief Description of the Project
We live in a world in which the use of technology as a means of communication is commonplace. The opportunities given by the internet to exchange information with the rest of the world in an instantaneous manner are usually met with ways of exploiting the trust of any user.
Lately, most of our sensitive information is stored somewhere on the internet. Be it our private e-mails, bank accounts or social media accounts which contain our messages with others. During these lessons, the students will be exposed to the existence of many crimes that happen on the internet and how they and their loved ones can avoid being victims of such events. This awareness will in turn foster some skills, classified as 21st century skills by iCEV (2024), such as critical thinking, technological and media literacy and communication.
