Cybersecurity Lessons for Grades K–8

Help students learn foundational skills for protecting themselves online.

Cybersecurity is one of the most important sets of skills that students need to safeguard themselves, their peers, and their school in our digital world. The lessons in this collection teach students about essential cybersecurity concepts, including protecting themselves from phishing and unsafe websites.

Each lesson in this collection features an extension activity from CYBER.ORG to deepen students' knowledge and behaviors related to cybersecurity.

Our collaboration with CYBER.ORG was made possible with the generous support of Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
