    What technological threats exist in a connected environment and how


    might I protect myself and my students?

    When starting to look around at resources this week, I started with the U.S. Department of

    Education’s official website for protecting student privacy. I’m glad that I did, because it’s such a

    comprehensive resource! There’s tons of information, many trainings you can take, FAQ’s, and you

    can even filter information by audience. The options for audiences were extremely varied as well. This
    is a fantastic resource for keeping myself and my students safe, and one I will keep in my back pocket as

    I move on in my profession. Student Data Privacy on YouTube also has multiple training sessions

    available for teachers. There are many resources available to educators, students, and families; I think

    that creating a master list of resources for families could be beneficial to have available for distribution.

    In my understanding, the main safety issues that teachers face are: phishing, data breaches,

    ransomware, DDOS (Distributed Denial of Services), and IoT vulnerabilities. For students, the main

    risks are: data theft, camfecting, social engineering, malware, and malicious social media messaging.

    The article ‘Cybersecurity in Education: What Teachers, Parents, and Students Should Know’ outlines

    these issues. Education seems to be key in preventing risks from turning into crises. In knowing that

    these risks are present when utilizing technology, and by engaging in learning about how to recognize

    these malicious acts and how to report and avoid them, we can help reduce the amount of time and

    resources that are used every year when malicious acts are completed.
