Comfortably 2.0: The Digital Citizenship Survival Kit
It's a simple little prop I use when teaching Digital Citizenship to our K-8 #aurorahuskies students. I love utilizing props to try to get my point across to students. To me, it helps a student retain the lesson better. Let me introduce you to Mr. Badura's "Digital Citizenship Survival Kit." Each of the items has a purpose. Here are the items I have in my "Digital Citizenship Survival Kit" and what each item represents: Padlock The padlock is to remind students to set strong passwords and to set up passcode locks on all of their digital devices. Toothbrush I tell students to think that passwords and toothbrushes are very similar in the fact that you NEVER want to share passwords. Permanent Marker Everything that you put online is permanent....even if you hit the delete button after posting. Toothpaste Imagine the information that you are putting online is like the toothpaste coming out of the tube. The survival kit is very simple.

Sexting And Cyberbullying in Schools
When students have access to mobile devices in school, either in a 1:1 or BYOD environment, much of what happens in their school lives cross over into their personal lives. Here at Eanes ISD, over 80% of our secondary students have smartphones that they bring with them to school on top of the school-issued iPad they are given. While we have some say about the activity on the school device, students’ use of their phones for inappropriate activity is an issue both in and out of school. Last year, I wrote this post about the app YikYak and this one about Secret photo-sharing apps. I wrote these (and accompanying letter to district parents) not to scare adults into taking away kids’ phones, but instead to spark a conversation between child and parent. Today, I sent home the following letter about sexting and cyberbullying via a couple of different apps that we’ve become privy to here. Parents of Secondary Students, Sexting Cyberbullying via apps like Brighten and After School
Video: I Dared Two Elite Hackers to Ruin My Life
This is Episode 8 of Real Future, Fusion’s documentary series about technology and society. More episodes available at realfuture.tv. Several months ago, while I was typing a few e-mails at my dining room table, my laptop spoke to me. “You…look…bored,” it said in a robotic monotone, out of nowhere. Startled, I checked my browser tabs and my list of open applications to see if anything had been making noise. Then I realized: this was the hacker. Hence the robot voice. I had to admit, it was a pretty good troll. Last year, after reporting on the hacks of Sony Pictures, JPMorgan Chase, Ashley Madison, and other major companies, I got curious about what it felt like to be on the victim’s side of a data breach, in a time when so much of our lives is contained in these giant, fragile online containers. Fortune 500 companies do this kind of thing all the time. I’m not a Fortune 500 company, but I still wanted to subject myself to a personal penetration test to see how my security measured up.
