Decoding Digital Privacy

Training in Security and Technological Well-Being for Educators

Start the training now

Get ready to teach students to have a healthy relationship with technology in the digital-information age

The smart, safe use of technology helps educators and students in the teaching and learning process, and helps the school run more harmoniously.

Above all because of the pandemic — a situation that will likely take a long time to return to “normal” — children and teenagers are spending far more time on internet-connected devices, whether for fun or for study, and this greater exposure to the online environment carries a range of risks, including bullying, sexual harassment, grooming and many other threats.

Unfortunately, “safe and conscious use” is still missing from the pedagogical planning of most schools in the country.

This course prepares primary- and secondary-school teachers to equip students with the skills they need to stay safe online and keep a healthy relationship with digital life.

The course is free, online and interactive.

The thematic tracks

The course covers the main topics of privacy, security and digital well-being applied to everyday life and to the challenges educators face when guiding students in their relationship with digital technologies.

1. Legislation

  • Digital natives or digital actives? What do our students do on the internet?

  • Educators connected to the digital world

  • The internet as a public space

  • If the internet is not a lawless land, which laws apply online?

  • Safe and conscious internet use as a cross-cutting theme in education

2. Digital security

  • Protecting devices and accounts

  • Digital reputation

  • Safe searching and news checking

  • Scams and fraud

  • Teaching good choices online

3. Cyberbullying

  • What is cyberbullying? Actors and warning signs

  • Data on cyberbullying in Brazil

  • Legal aspects and consequences of cyberbullying

  • What is the school’s role?

  • Actions with students and families
