Cybersecurity is more than just a tech topic—it’s an essential skill for students and educational stakeholders alike. Brilliant Labs has compiled a directory of valuable cybersecurity education resources to empower teachers, students, and parents to navigate the digital world safely.
This assortment of resources includes informative links, interactive tools, and services that provide a strong foundation for understanding and teaching cybersecurity concepts. Teachers can use these resources in the classroom, and they can share them with parents and community members to promote safe practices at school and at home.
Here are some highlights of the directory.
For all ages, the web resources cover the basics of cybersecurity, such as recognizing phishing attempts, creating strong passwords, and understanding the importance of privacy settings. These resources are designed to be age-appropriate and engaging, ensuring that students and parents alike can grasp the fundamental concepts.
Educators can utilize classroom tools that help students develop practical skills for protecting themselves online. Interactive simulations, coding challenges, and role-playing activities are available to make learning fun and engaging. These tools can help students understand the importance of cybersecurity in real-world scenarios, such as protecting personal data when using social media or sharing information online.
Community and family guides provide accessible best practices for everyone. These guides cover topics such as setting up home networks securely, using parental controls, and discussing online safety with children. By sharing these guides with parents, teachers can foster a culture of digital responsibility both in and out of the classroom.
In addition to the directory, Brilliant Labs offers a free Cybersecurity Toolkit. This toolkit includes step-by-step instructions, checklists, and templates to help schools and families implement best practices. The toolkit is designed to be user-friendly and adaptable to various educational settings, ensuring that all stakeholders can benefit from its resources.
