Watch a 13-minute conference presentation from USENIX SOUPS 2024 exploring the disconnect between how educational resources for cybersecurity and privacy are created versus how they're actually used in middle school classrooms. Learn about findings from qualitative interviews with 15 teachers and 8 resource creators that reveal teachers primarily utilize free, low-tech, and adaptable materials focused on critical thinking skills, while creators emphasize trending topics and interactive engagement through games. Discover insights into the misalignment between resource design and practical classroom implementation, based on research conducted at Carleton University and the University of Waterloo.
