In this lesson, students discuss their online experiences and learn how to minimize the potential risks that may be associated with them. Using a tip sheet, students explore the many tools and strategies that can be used to prevent negative online experiences. Once they have reviewed these strategies and resources, students will extend their knowledge by playing a game in which they compete against other students to match a series of technological "tools" to the "risks" they can help prevent. 

Students will display the ability to:

• recognize the potential security risks and drawbacks of engaging in various online activities

• use a variety of tools and techniques to secure and protect their online experiences

• apply principles of board game design through the creation of a Cyber Security game (Grade 7/8 only)
