Something to think about: ICT is considered a critical infrastrure, but Ontario classrooms barely focus on it...

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?

DIGITAL SKILLS IN THE 21st CENTURY

9-12

7-8

K-6

All the RED arrows - the VAST MAJORITY of the population

When do we start to use digital tools in our classrooms?

Differentiation for interested students: competitions

How do we introduce digital safety and hygiene in k-6?

The tiny percentage who won't require any digital skills (though they'll still benefit from the infrastructure)

Digital hygiene for staff

I work here

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:

Digital hygiene for students

How do build a culture of responsibility around digital use?

Cybersecurity Specialists

education can cure more cybersec failures than any technology!

ICT professionals to look after the infrastructure

Majority of the population will need digital skills in their lives

Almost two-thirds of Canadians have poor or worse computer skills!

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

We don't graduate enough of these

https://temkblog.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-digital-divide-is-deep-and-wide.html

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

Think You're Not Highly Digitally Skilled? Think Again!

who am I?

Everyday there is a new tale of digital technologies run amok...

https://temkblog.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-digital-divide-is-deep-and-wide.html

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.

https://www.uscyberpatriot.org/

Intermediate & Senior

  • Teach good digital hygiene from the moment you begin using digital learning tools
  • Encourage students to understand how fluid online information can be mis-used
  • Teach students to understand the technology they are using and not be used by it
  • Mentor the most interested students with CyberTitan in intermediate grades

dumping it in every other curriculum isn't coherent!

It's CyberTitan time!

  • Direct interested students into CyberTitan where they will learn industry processes for identifying threats and hardening systems
  • Show them career opportunites in cybersec
  • Encourage diversity into the many pathways becoming available in cybersecurity
  • Watch as your CyberTitans begin to raise infosec awareness and better cybersecurity habits in your general school population
  • Compete in CyberTitan/Cyberpatriot
  • Encourage peer leadership in cybersec...

Many groups are working on infosec materials for younger learners...

CyberNB is making great strides in New Brunswick...

To be considered a strong (level 3) computer user you had to be able to "schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages."

Ever made a shared meeting in Google Calendar after receiving some emails? CONGRATULATIONS! You're an ADVANCED DIGITAL USER!

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

hard sell continued!

and digital hygiene!

If not us then who?

If not now then when?

What 2 things can everyone in Ontario's education system do to help?

...as a fundamental 21st Century Skill!

encourage students to think about pathways into the critical infrastructure that drives our world.

Education can leverage the digital skills we've built during the edtech revolution to play a major role in taming the digital chaos that surrounds us

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

You can look at this from two sides:

HOW TO CYBERTITAN ON CYBERPATRIOT

who is ICTC?

What is CyberTitan?

https://www.ictc-ctic.ca/

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.

Find out more at: www.cybertitan.ca

HOW TO:

  • Find a team of up to six students
  • Head over to https://www.uscyberpatriot.org/ and sign up as a coach (no experience needed)
  • Grades 7 & 8 students run in the middle school division, grades 9-12 in the open high school division
  • Make sure you put in the student sizes, the t-shirts you get are nice but the swag is even fancier (medals and lapel pins!)
  • No experience in IT or cybersec? Cyberpatriot will do backflips to find you a mentor.

https://www.ictc-ctic.ca/research/monthly-infographics/

Why build something from scratch when our closest allies already have a competition up and running?

The competition:

  • you use VMware to find viruses, malware and other security exploits on a virtual machine
  • there is also a Cisco packet tracer networking section where you build a network using good security practices.

http://uscyberpatriot.org/home

https://www.uscyberpatriot.org/competition/Competition-Overview

What is a virtual machine?

What is Cisco Packet Tracer?

If your PC is powerful enough (and modern PCs all are) it can run operating systems inside of operating systems!!! You can have a Windows 10 PC running Apple OSx in a virtual machine - it will behave like an Apple in all ways, but it's running on Windows like an application!

CyberPatriot gives you

hacked Windows images

to analyze and clean up.

It seems like a lot, but you get many opportunities to practice before the competition goes live in October.

On live competition days (6 hours consecutively on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday - we always took the Friday) your team works without help through the infected images. I always bought them pizza in and they marathoned through...

It's a very easy to use program that lets you build networks graphically and then connect them together as a simulation

So what happened to us? I got 4 volunteers from my senior computer engineering class and made this their ISU. They were responsible for getting ready and self organizing into roles. They were also responsible for DOCUMENTING THEIR PROCESS (we're using it this year!)

Links:

If we have time at the end of the session I'd be happy to walk you through setting up your coach's dashboard and answering any questions you may have about the contest or cybersec in general.

"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!

So what happened next? National Finals in Fredericton!

2019 Results

Our highest ever finish in Cyberpatriot and the core of our senior team in 2020

Top female team in Canada

Competition for experts

Our senior team finished top 3 in Canada and top 10 in the world in the gold tier...

9th place finish in the National Finals in Ottawa in May

What to do?

What happened after last year's surprise success? We suddenly had a lot of students curious about the competition, including an all-female team! So I scraped the money together to run three teams this year.

Round 1 of Cyberpatriot 2019 started last Friday, November 2nd

ROUND 2

ROUND 1

Digital Hygiene for everyone

falcontech Cybears finished 11th in Canada!

This year's competition: ROUND 1 (Nov 2nd, 2018)

falcontech Cybeavers finished 35th in Canada

Over six thousand three hundred teams competing from around the world this year in Cyberpatriot

102 teams in round 2 from Canada in 6 provinces

Student engagement in Cyberpatriot...

Give CyberTitan a go! Your students will love it. It offers a huge amount of technical support AND software for very little cost. It's FREE this year if you can put an all girls team together (like other digital technologies, cybersec is severely gender imbalanced). You'll be offering your students a glimpse into a vital 21st Century industry that most people have no idea about and opening up many opportunities. My team all got jobs related to technology this summer in no small part to their CyberTitan experience.

falcontech Terabytches finished 40th in Canada

@tk1ng

Need more information? Look me up! I'd be HAPPY to help...

If we're going to spend so much of our time learning and being informed & entertained online, then we have to consider cybersecurity to be a VITAL 21st CENTURY FLUENCY, so every student should learn it.

The field of cybersecurity is DESPERATELY UNDERSERVED! You'd be doing your students a big favour by introducing them to a job field that requires human ingenuity to battle human cruelty and greed. No AI is taking this job away any time soon!
