Danelle and I are joined by TCAPS Defense Against the Dark Arts Master, Thomas Paolacci, to discuss Cyber Security and why it's so important at school and at home. Thomas offers some advice to teachers and students on how to stay safe and keep your information secure online.

He strongly recommends using a password manager to encrypt your passwords like:

• Dashlane
• OnePass

Great Common Sense Media also has some great lessons that address some of the Security and Privacy issues Thomas talked about on the pod:

• Powerful Passwords K-2
• Strong Passwords 3-5
• What's the Big Deal About Internet Privacy 9-12
• Does It Matter Who Has Your Data 9-12

Also, the Privacy Evaluation Initiative from Common Sense Media is valuable when evaluating classroom edtech resources.
