@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq Thank you both. PS Glad to see you've resurected your 2018 Twitter account for the occasion, Ed!

That's all folks! Pleas join me in saying a huge thank you to Ed Moxon (@edmoxon55) and Spencer Collins (@Francis_Esq) for some thought provoking questions tonight. We hope to see you all again next week!

@LauraKeeney01 We have been wondering if we could produce info sheets for teachers to help raise wider awareness of cyber security roles and topics. We're both cyber security professionals (I'm an 'ethical hacker', hem, hem) and we'd love to help give you more insight. #caschat

A5 In summary... No! I think in primary we are just starting to highlight careers in technology and STEM nevermind the more niche pathway of cyber security. I think it's a fascinating career path that should be highlighted more #caschat

@abid_patel @caschat_uk @Francis_Esq Okey doke, agree with that and we do indeed discuss passwords in detail in one of our #cyberexplorers episodes, so hopefully that will help with your point. #caschat

@edmoxon55 @caschat_uk @Francis_Esq Not saying they are the same thing by any means, but understanding that there are cross overs & similarities between the 2 areas. Yes, there are unique aspects, but password security has historically been taught in #OnlineSafety lessons & is integral to #CyberSecurity #caschat

Q4. What aspects of cyber security do you think should be added to the current curriculum?

@abid_patel @caschat_uk @Francis_Esq We don't consider e-safety and cyber security to be quite the same thing. Where e-safety is taught (PSHE, computer science, assemblies) varies from school to school. So a question folks - would you value a precis of the landscape of cyber security? #caschat

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq A4. I feel that #CyberSecurity & #OnlineSafety should be taught as a joint package now. There's a lot of crossover between the 2 & both areas compliment each other in their importance on staying safe both pastorally & also from a technical perspective #caschat
English

A4 I think things like how to post a sensible video online is necessary. Pupils are doing it anyway so better to show them how to do it safely just as we would for other potentially dangerous behaviours #caschat

@MrsS_Year6 @caschat_uk @Francis_Esq Got it. We have created a mythical place called Cyber City as part of #cyberexplorers with attacks taking place against the characters. We've not covered coding per se but we could #caschat
English

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq A3 my ks3 classes liked the “Hack the password” Python code in the NCCE resources. They also found the cyber map fascinating and hypothesising why attacks where centred around particular locations #caschat

Q3. What medium do you feel students are most responsive to when delivering cyber lessons in primary and secondary settings?

@missedabracket Excellent Phil. Totally agree. We're part of the authoring/delivery team for Cyber First and we really want to develop some inter-school CTF competition. Our latest project #cyberexplorers includes some CTF activities. #caschat
English

A2. In terms of resources, cross-curricular resources would be good. I think school events such as inter-school #CTF 'capture the flag' events are needed...also competitions like #CyberGirlsFirst need to be higher profile. #CASChat

@PhilippaStrange @caschat_uk @Francis_Esq Would some downloadable teacher resources that include some take-homes for parents be useful?

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq Good evening #caschat, these are the votes from sunny Oxfordshire, yes absolutely, I’m frequently contacted by parents about how they can help educate family too!

Welcome to #CASChat
Please introduce yourself and tell us if you believe there is a responsibility to teach cyber security beyond just online safety in schools!

@edmoxon55 @HelloWorld_Edu There’s more than enough in here to get me started, but it’s finding the time and space to deliver it that’s more the issue. Also, I think I need to hear the same message more than once to make it stick 😊 #caschat
English

Evening #caschat A1 Everything I know about teaching cybersecurity appears in Issue 18 of @HelloWorld_Edu

English

@missedabracket Absolutely Phil. There are some great jobs in cyber security, very interesting and often well paid too. And they're not all technical, either
English

Evening #caschat. There absolutely is a responsibility to teach #cybersecurity beyond online safety. Everyone needs to understand the potential issues with #cyber. Also, the career opportunities are amazing.

Please join me in giving a very warm #caschat welcome to tonight's hosts: Ed Moxon (@edmoxon55) and Spencer Collins (@Francis_Esq)
