Cyberawareness

** By Donna Piscioneri & Rachel Lapthorne **

Introduction

Technology misuse and abuse is extensive in our modern day society, in response to this, educators need to assist students through curriculum in all aspects of cyber awareness. In defining this topic, it can be explained by 'digital citizenship describes the norms of appropriate, responsible behaviour with regards to technology use.'(Ribble, 2008-09) Being cyber aware entails many facets, which include plagiarism, passwords, staying safe online in regard to buying, selling, providing personal information and posting photos and incorporates many forms of technology. Educators should embrace technology in their classroom, but in order to ensure users stay safe and are digitally ethical, cyber awareness must be addressed, taught and discussed. This unit of work is aimed at level 4 and can be integrated amongst other domains and adjusted for other levels within the curriculum. The unit of work will be focused around //Classroom Connections// (Murdoch, 1998) and include all six stages and include a wide variety of activities to engage all learners.
