Defender\u2019s comprehensive protection helps keep students safe when they are on-campus, at home, or even when visiting family around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"take-a-tick-before-you-click-bad-links\">Take a tick before you click bad links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift to blended learning accelerated abruptly over the last few years. Unfortunately, many students\u2019 digital skills and cyber hygiene are still catching up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students access content in multiple ways: through learning tools, communication apps, and search engines. Each of these platforms is a landing spot for hyperlinked text. Students need digital literacy skills to help them determine which links are safe, valuable, and reliable as they explore content. Help students improve their digital hygiene by modeling how to assess and verify links found in websites, search results, email, communication apps, and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important for students to understand that clicking a harmful link could lead to someone being able to access their device\u2019s camera, spy on or crash the device, or steal private information. Harmful links can occur on many of the devices that students use on a regular basis in the classroom like cell phones, tablets, and laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"something-doesn-t-ad-up\">Something doesn\u2019t ad up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While ads are not inherently good or bad, it\u2019s important that students develop the ability to tell the difference between a legitimate advertisement and a potentially harmful one. Ads are commonly found in interstitial videos in digital games, promoted search results, and social media. Advertisements show up everywhere promising a flashier app or a healthier life, and they can sometimes be a gateway for malware or phishing attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, ads are not always bad. It\u2019s important that students understand the signs of trustworthy ads from those that are suspicious or potentially harmful. Help students avoid harmful ads by discussing and modeling the following practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify the advertisement. Labels or captions like #ad or \u201csponsored\u201d could be good clues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide if the ad is relevant to a search query.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid links that ask for personal data or try to incite fear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"responding-when-mistakes-are-made\">Responding when mistakes are made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with good digital skills and tools like <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/business\/siem-and-xdr\/microsoft-defender-cloud-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Microsoft Defender for the Cloud\">Microsoft Defender for the Cloud<\/a> monitoring security threats, mistakes still happen. It\u2019s important for students to know how to respond when they see a questionable email, click on a harmful link, or visit a dangerous ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to tell a trusted adult what happened. Help students feel free from judgment or punishment. Use these messages and strategies to help when mistakes are made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Emphasize that there are no consequences for reporting. Asking for help will not be punished or reprimanded. Microsoft recommends a \u201cno consequences self-reporting environment\u201d when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remind students if they mistakenly click on a bad link, their life isn\u2019t over! They just need to tell an adult to get help<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide students access to school experts who have helpful tools to fix it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"help-students-understand-why-cyber-hygiene-is-important\">Help students understand why cyber hygiene is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent years have shown the importance of understanding how to behave safe online and that everyone has a role to play in cybersecurity. Because of that, Microsoft has created the <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/business\/cybersecurity-awareness?rtc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"click to go to Cybersecurity Awareness website\">Cybersecurity Awareness website<\/a>, with consumable resources for organizations, consumers, and students to learn cybersecurity best practices and how to be cyber smart. In this hub, audiences will be able to find infographics, certifications, reports, events, trainings, scholarships, and more to stay connected with cybersecurity education opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As students continue to gain important digital skills, they will increase their understanding of the threats that commonly try to compromise schools, social media apps, and communication tools that they use every day. Explain to them the cause and effect so they can see how to avoid scams and compromises, and why keeping an eye out for these is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Begin your cybersecurity discussion with students using the Microsoft K-12 Cybersecurity Infographic and Conversation Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Think-before-you-click.webp\" alt=\"\tThe K-12 Cybersecurity Infographic provides simple examples of phishing links and scam ads and how to identify them.\" class=\"wp-image-5986 size-full webp-format\" srcset=\"\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Think-before-you-click.webp\"><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><em><em>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/msdownloads\/K-12-Cybersecurity-Infographic-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K-12 Cybersecurity Infographic<\/a>&nbsp;provides simple examples of phishing links and scam ads and how to identify them.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/K-12-Cybersecurity-Conversation-Guide.webp\" alt=\"The K-12 Cybersecurity Conversation Guide helps educators and caregivers discuss key topics with students on how to improve their cyber hygiene.\" class=\"wp-image-5987 size-full webp-format\" srcset=\"\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/K-12-Cybersecurity-Conversation-Guide.webp\"><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/msdownloads\/K-12-Cybersecurity-Conversation-Guide-2022.pdf\"> K-12 Cybersecurity Conversation Guide<\/a> helps educators and caregivers discuss key topics with students on how to improve their cyber hygiene.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A common misconception is that young people, many of whom grew up using tablets or touchscreen phones from an early age, are inherently tech savvy.
