Hacker Highschool

[cc11]

I have been doing some research and looking into extra training modules etc. I am a fanatic when it comes to further education etc.
I cam across the following website. http://www.hackerhighschool.org/

The Hacker Highschool project is the development of license-free, security and privacy awareness teaching materials and back-end support for teachers of elementary, junior high, and high school students.

Today's kids and teens are in a world with major communication and productivity channels open to them and they don't have the knowledge to defend themselves against the fraud, identity theft, privacy leaks and other attacks made against them just for using the Internet. This is the reason for Hacker Highschool.


Have a look and let me know what everyone thinks.

I have two kids and the technology this day and age is horrifying. They have access to so much communiation which is good for some things but also creates a hell of alot of problems. This sounds like a great idea. I am going to check out the link.

I have to agree SpOp. My close friend is a teacher, and he has incidents EVERY day where they are dealing with cyber bullying, and other things that are absolutely shocking, sexting etc.
It is crucial that parents are monitoring their children closely as they have everything available at their fingertips.
