Cybersecurity is essential for everyone, whether a young child playing games on a tablet or an adult constantly bombarded with spam texts and phishing scams. While, for most people, cybersecurity congers the image of a techie in a dark room typing incoherent code, the U.S. Air Force Association's CyberPatriot is working every day to change that image. To continue our look at cyber education, we sat down with Rachel Zimmerman, direc...
Kids today are surrounded by cyber. It impacts every aspect of their lives, from the homework they do on the computer to the video games they play on their phones. Ensuring young people have the knowledge they need to stay safe in a dangerous cyber world often falls on K-12 educators. That's where our guest, Laurie Salvail, executive director of the nonprofit CYBER.org, comes in, “empowering educators to teach cyber.” Teaching cybe...
