Preschool information assurance curriculum development

Published: 01 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, a novel approach to information assurance (IA) and information security (InfoSec) education in the form of curriculum development at the preschool level will be discussed. Savvy Cyber Kids was founded to teach kids safety before they go online. Curriculum materials developed by Savvy Cyber Kids will be piloted to enable preschool curriculums to prepare the world's children for growing up in a technologically connected age.
