Digital Technology has revolutionized many industries, including education.
The hard sell!
EdTech is everywhere now, in every subject area. It constantly influences how we teach and learn, yet we do little to raise digital fluency around this critical infrastructure.
How can we raise digital fluency in all of Ontario education's stakeholders?
What would a k-12 digital skills curriculum look like?
How can we help Ontario and Canada by producing graduates who can use and protect our critical infrastructure?
Where to start?
Digital technologies have given us great power, now we need to systemically teach responsible use.
Who needs to be conscious of digital hygiene?
Whose digital hygiene means a safer networked world for everyone?

Familiarization with the tech we use!
My recent cybersec training repeatedly stated that the weakest links in cybersecurity are people!
how staff uses digital strongly influences how students use digital
... and there are many engaging online resources to familiarize students with computer technology, networking and cybersecurity:

We graduate a tragically small number of these because there are no mandatory digital skills courses or a coherent curriculum in Ontario high schools

Cybersecurity can feel scary and beyond the scope of a classroom teacher, but it's a critical 21st Century skill we all need to get better at. Many government and industry groups are working hard to help provide you with better cyber-hygiene & security materials.

practice safe digital hygiene and bake it into our curriculum as soon as we begin to use digital tools!

and digital hygiene!
encourage students to think about pathways into the critical infrastructure that drives our world.
Ontario educators have an inherently high level of digital skill (more so if you are involved with ECOO). Digital skills are not about comparing yourself to engineers and ICT professionals, they are about effective use of digital tools, which a high percentage of Ontario educators have mastered.
In the stratified & departmentalized world of Ontario Education I'm its worst nightmare: a college and university trained skilled tradesman - you name the pathway, I've walked it.
Last year I talked about CyberTitan and how to build an interest in cybersecurity and its pathways for your interested ICT students, but as there aren't many ICT students (or teachers) in Ontario's education system, this year I'm hoping to begin the push to integrate the other 98% of our education system, all of whom increasingly rely on digital technology but are taking few if any steps to increase system fluency with this technology
Digital hygiene needs to be a reflexive best practice, not an ignored fear or someone else's problem!

I'm going to wrap up by showing you three competitions that are both engaging and effective in introducing Cybersecurity to your students
CyberTitan runs through CyberPatriot up until January at which point all the Canadian teams get their scores tallied and ICTC gets in touch if you're tops in the Eastern division.
https://www.uscyberpatriot.org/Documents/Team%20Registration%20Instructions.pdf
CyberTitan is a national education initiative that includes an annual cybersecurity skills competition focused on preparing middle and secondary school students with real-world skills.

"Where the hell did that come from?!?"
"Still a challenge, but we knew what to expect this time and managed our time accordingly"
"Well, that was easier than
we thought it would be!"
It ramps up quick! Prep as much as you can each time and learn from each round. Especially focus on team roles and time management - you have to be both efficient AND knowledgeable to survive!
