Teachers Pathway
As an educator, you play a critical role in equipping students with the skills they need to navigate today’s digital world safely and responsibly. Cybersafety and digital media literacy go hand in hand—both are essential for fostering a secure, informed, and empowered online experience.
Revisit earlier stops on your journey to digital literacy!
With each new destination you explore, going back helps you see familiar concepts in fresh ways, building stronger skills and understanding along the way.
Cybersafety focuses on protecting personal information, avoiding scams, and practicing secure online habits, while digital media literacy helps students critically evaluate the content they encounter, recognize misinformation, and understand the impact of their digital footprint. Together, these skills ensure students can engage with technology in ways that are safe, ethical, and informed.

From tools to safeguard your own cybersafety and protect student data, to materials that teach students how to think critically about the information they encounter online, our resources are designed to empower you as both a protector and a guide.
