A1: Right now with AI I would say using any app that records kid's faces and make sure we know the apps privacy policy.

Feel free to grab this Cybersecurity Explore Board I created for #HourofCode to start the discussion in your classroom ⬇️ #EduSkyChat

Yes! They love to question work and be skeptical so reminding them of this strength they have!

A2) It's actually something I remind them of often. I give scenarios. In the early days it was "you won a free iPad". But I think typing ex out and showing them and explaining. Talking about using their skills to question everything. #eduskychat

A1) a few of the live games we play in class I also think about you tube videos used for instruction. There's several things to think about. #eduskychat

You do a great job with this! I am always impressed. Sometimes though I have found after deep failures you have to lean into the comfort zone or find something that reminds you of your strengths.

I am a huge fan of your work and mindset! I enjoyed your first book. This answer inspires me but is also unrealistic too at times. I struggle with this as sometimes the path is very confusing and requires a lot to keep going when there's no feedback.
