Cyber Security in Education

Cyber Security is an always growing and changing field.  Security online is becoming a bigger issue for our generation than security of our physical lives.  Our children and students are growing up with more technology than ever before.  I feel that cyber security needs to be a staple taught within our education setting.  Students need to understand the expectations and risks of being online.  The internet can be a scary and dangerous place for someone who does not know how to keep themselves safe while online.  Building cyber security into today's education will allow our students to learn to be safe in an environment that they will living in.
