2.2.- Presentation of the project

  • PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT

    TITLE: "Cybersecurity Schools"

    MOTIVATION

    We are very motivated to develop this project because we want to improve the digital competence and the safety of our students.

    JUSTIFICATION

    A few years ago it was unthinkable that would be exposed our private lives to the whole world. Our experience with the web was reduced to the consumption of content. With the Web 2.0 technology becomes a ubiquitous reality that accompanies us throughout the day, makes us communicate, share information, collaborate in the creation of new content and we relate in a different way. New tendencies emerge that go on the line of making more and more public intimate aspects of personal life. In this new reality information risks falling into improper use, endangering privacy and configuring the digital identity itself. In this context, remaining constantly aware of everything children are doing online, can be a full-time job for parents and teachers.

    GENERAL OBJECTIVES

    - To make our students aware of the correct use of technology and its dangers.

    - To have pupils who can explain how to use technology safely.

    SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

    • Raise awareness about online safety and security.
    • Learn about and research Internet security issues.
    • Share our best practices in cybersecurity.
    • Develop international skills.
    • Organise the First International Congress on Cybersecurity (May 2022).

    METHODOLOGY

    • Activities based on a Project Based Learning methodology.
    • We promote the active role of students throughout the process.
    • Presence of technologies.
    • Development of digital competence.

    USE OF TECHNOLOGIES

    Both inside and outside our schools, we all use ICT. We use them to post messages, write blogs, create slideshows, share pictures, produce videos, conduct research, write emails, etc. But, do we know to use the Internet safely? The issue of online security and protection are topics that arise with the development of the Information Society and their intensive use by the population. These changes pose new educational changes for an adequate online management of our students' safety and privacy.

    FINAL PRODUCT

    Our main objective is to celebrate the First International Bilingual Congress on Cybersecurity, sharing good practices among Primary and Secondary School pupils.
