SaTC: EDU: Establishing Digital Citizenship by Implementing Cyber Safety Curriculum with Middle School Students

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的这个项目将让学生们做好展示数字公民和网络安全的准备。该项目的目标是提高中学生、教师和技术促进者的网络安全知识和技能，同时提高中学生家长的网络安全意识。该项目将协助设计一套教学材料和应用活动（例如，电子学习模块、在线课程和视频），致力于弥合学校网络安全教育的差距。该项目还将为研究生和本科生提供网络安全、技术教育和教学实践方面的跨学科研究经验。拟议的项目将实现以下目标：1)开发关于网络安全主题的五个电子学习模块（例如，网络欺凌、数字足迹、数字身份、数字隐私和数字网络礼仪），向学生传达数字公民的重要性；(2)设计并向20名技术促进者和30名中学教师提供关于数字公民身份的在线课程；(3)采用“培训-培训师”模式，由技术促进者在学校培训教师，课堂教师在暑期课程结束后培训学生；(4)在三个不同学区和一所特许学校的200名中学生中试用网络安全电子学习模块；(5)帮助学生制作网络安全视频，并通过社交媒体传播给家长和更多的受众。创建的教学模块和在线课程内容将与当前项目范围之外的机构共享。此外，该项目将建立教师教育和培训渠道，以吸引更多的K-12教育工作者加入该计划，为他们提供急需的网络安全知识和技能，并为教育下一代的挑战做好准备。

The project from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will prepare students to demonstrate digital citizenship and cyber safety. The goal of this project is to increase cyber safety knowledge and skills among middle school students, teachers, and technology facilitators, while creating cyber safety awareness among parents of middle school students. This project will assist in designing a suite of instructional materials and application activities (e.g., e-learning modules, online course and videos) dedicated to bridge the gap in cyber safety education in schools. The project will also provide interdisciplinary research experiences in cyber safety, technology education, and pedagogical practices to both graduate and undergraduate students. The proposed project will address the following objectives: 1) develop five e-learning modules on cyber safety topics (e.g., cyber bullying, digital footprints, digital identity, digital privacy and digital Netiquette) to communicate the importance of digital citizenship to the students; (2) design and deliver an online course on digital citizenship to 20 technology facilitators and 30 middle school teachers; (3) apply the train-the-trainer model by which the technology facilitators will train the teachers in their schools and classroom teachers train the students after the summer course on digital citizenship; (4) pilot the cyber safety e-learning modules with 200 middle school students in three different school districts and a charter school; and (5) help students create videos on cyber safety and disseminate the videos to their parents and a larger audience through social media. The instructional modules and online course content created will be shared with institutions outside the current scope of the project. Further, the project will establish a teacher education and training pipeline to attract more K-12 educators to the program, equip them with much needed cyber security knowledge and skills, and prepare them for the challenges of educating the next generation.
