Education Scotland have collaborated with Girvan Academy in South Ayrshire to produce a set of resources that combine the SQA Level 4 units in Cyber Security Fundamentals and Internet Safety. These resources reinforce that every learner should have the knowledge and skills to use the internet and online services safely, allowing them to spot potential risks and recover from any potential harm they face while using online services. The course materials and teacher packs are available, along with many other resources, for all levels of learning from the digilearn.scot website.
Additional resources include a Teachers Toolkit based around the three key internet behaviours of Consume, Create and Communicate. Each of the these behaviours have different levels and types of risk. The toolkit will help educators diagnose, understand and then support learners with their digital needs.
Before starting with the toolkit, it is suggested that Educators find out what their learners are using and doing online; and the issues or risks this presents. With this information the toolkit can be used to locate appropriate information, resources and professional learning to support you in planning meaningful CRIS learning.
