K-12 schools are major targets of cyberattacks, and some experts- including education and security leaders in the Biden administration -have said that one way to combat those challenges is by educating students about cybersecurity and preparing them to enter the cybersecurity industry.

The problem is that there are not enough cybersecurity teachers.

To help fill the shortage, Moriah Walker switched from teaching middle school English language arts to high school cybersecurity for the Lakota Local School District in Butler County, Ohio. In a conversation with Education Week during the International Society for Technology in Education conference, Walker discussed why she switched subject areas and the similarities between teaching English and cybersecurity.
The conversation has been edited for brevity and clarity.

How did you go from teaching English to teaching cybersecurity?

So I was a middle school English teacher and then I went to school to get my master's degree in educational technology because my goal was to be a technology integration specialist. I got that job and I loved it-it was incredible. I got to work with kids. I got to work with teachers.

Then there was an opening in our cybersecurity program because somebody was retiring. I was helping them find who that next person would be, and they said, 'Actually, you're really good at teaching. That's where your skills are. Why don't you come and teach cybersecurity?' And I said, 'I don't have any background in that. I don't know how to code. I don't have the skills.' They said, 'That's fine. You're really good at teaching. We want you to do this.'

So I spent all last summer going to different PDs and learning how to use Linux and understanding the big concepts in cybersecurity. Then I spent the entire year just learning the concepts with the students.

How does the cybersecurity program work in your district?

Our program serves students in 10th through 12th grade. It's a normal elective in a [student's] day. This past year [2022-23], we had 180 students, and next year we have 270 kids signed up. They get college credit through one of our community colleges, and they can also get industry certifications. They also get paid internships with our business partners.

What do you like about teaching cybersecurity?

The kids who sign up for cybersecurity are excited because it's a new field. The kids are happy to come to class. They get to run exploits [a program designed to find a security vulnerability] on their own computer on a virtual machine. And the kids get to have different experiences because they get to go on field trips to security operations centers. Getting to have different experiences and leading kids to something that they are passionate about makes me passionate about what I'm doing.

What was the biggest challenge for you moving from teaching English to cybersecurity instruction?

The biggest thing for me was I didn't have any background in this. Knowing that I was coming in without that background, I was a little apprehensive that the students might not see me as an expert, which I wasn't. So I had a lot of impostor syndrome, but I worked through that. My skills are in instruction and I was learning this with the students. I was a facilitator for them to get good at whatever they wanted to do.

Are there similarities between teaching English and teaching cybersecurity?

In teaching English, there's a lot of need for differentiation because there's a lot of different levels in a classroom like that. There's a lot of need for flexibility. Sometimes everybody didn't read the story they were supposed to read.

In cybersecurity, I had a lot of that, too. There were some students who were really knowledgeable and really good at solving ciphers [systems for encrypting and decrypting data], and then some students who had no idea what we were doing. I used my skills in differentiation and being able to do engaging lessons and small groups and all those things in cyber. And there's skills like writing and speaking and communication and collaboration that lend themselves very easily to a cybersecurity class.

Cybersecurity is a massively important field today and a crucial element of your business strategy. Cybercrime is constantly changing and evolving, and the threats we're facing are innovative and different. Cybersecurity awareness thus needs to be improved and significantly boosted to make sure people are ready to recognize and fight malicious activities.

There are different ways to improve cybersecurity awareness, and language learning is one of them. It may seem confusing at first, but the connection between the two is strong. Keep reading to see how improving your language skills can also help you sharpen your expertise in cybersecurity.

Let's start with the basics. Cybersecurity is an ever-changing field, and you can never stop learning. If you do, the new trends, threats, and activities will surpass your knowledge, and you'll be far from an expert. And with 34.5% of organizations experiencing attacks regularly, you'll quickly become the victim.

To continue learning and stay fully informed, you need to use as many reliable resources as possible. Reading articles, blogs, academic publications, websites, and magazines is a great way to do it. But, if you spoke one more language, you could:

read foreign resources

watch foreign videos

join webinars and training held in that language

Simply put, you'd be able to learn so much more and continually raise your awareness.

Cyber threats and cybersecurity were both invented by people. Learning from other experts and sharing your knowledge is key to staying sharp. Still, limiting yourself to speaking with just those people who speak your native language would be a huge mistake.

Cyber threats are a global notion and are appearing all over the world. There are hundreds of experts scattered around the world that you could:

communicate with

learn from

collaborate with

share ideas with

This would make your multilingual cybersecurity knowledge way stronger, and you'd be aware of the threats that are active in other countries as well. This would allow you to prepare for them and not let anything surprise you.

Companies that deal with cybersecurity need to create diverse teams to cover all the areas and make sure they have eyes on every aspect of potential threats. These diverse teams typically involve:

people from different countries

remote work

online collaboration

Without proper communication between team members and solid teamwork, it wouldn't be possible to achieve any results. This is why language learning would benefit you once again.

If you spoke the language of your teammates, you'd be able to establish uninterrupted and clear communication. You'd understand them more clearly and would feel more confident sharing your attitudes and feedback.

This would contribute to the overall teamwork and make every team member more knowledgeable and skillful.

Everyone who's involved in cybersecurity knows that it's the right tools and software that make the difference. Fighting cybercriminals isn't possible without intelligent and modern tools that can recognize threats and prevent them from causing damage.

The more tools you know of, the better choices you can make to protect your business or your clients and help them preserve their security.

But, sometimes, the latest tools are launched in the native language of their country of origin and aren't available in English. You could be missing out on some of the best new tools out there just because you don't understand the language it's been coded in.

Clearly, language learning would enable you to:

explore tools outside your primary speaking zone

try out the latest software

choose based on what's best, not what you understand

make better recommendations to clients and partners

You don't have to be fully fluent in the language to use their tools. TheWordPoint can help you with the parts you don't understand. After a couple of days of actively using these tools, you'd understand more and be able to use them without stress.

Learning a new language is great for creating learning opportunities in the field of cybersecurity. There are more people to talk to and learn from, more resources to use, and more opportunities to practice your skills. As a result, your knowledge will be greatly improved, and you'd be working your way toward a cybersecurity expert.

Just remember - both language and cybersecurity learning requires constant work and can never be fully mastered. You just need to upgrade yourself one level at a time.

Ruby Butz is a language expert and a blogger. She writes about the benefits of speaking more than one language and how it opens doors to professional, social, and emotional success.

Sample story line

The Best Cow in the Land competition results are in and the top 31 cows entered are listed in order from the heaviest to the lightest. These cows have been transported back to their farms around the country.

Now no-one knew that hiding in the hills was a very hungry giant, who loved roast beef the best, and tended to roast a whole cow at a time. This giant had a fantastic memory and had memorised, not only the order of the cows from heaviest to lightest, but also which farm they were on and where the farms are. The giant starts at the farm with the heaviest cow, and gradually works down in the order of their weights.

A giant slayer is called in to find the hungry giant. The giant slayer can tell if the giant has been at a farm because the cow will be missing - if the cow is still at a farm then the giant must be at a farm with heavier cows, but if the cow is gone, then the giant must be at the farms with lighter cows.

Your task

To make up a stop motion video or play that demonstrates that the giant is using a sequential search to eat the cows in order from heaviest to smallest and that the giant slayers who need to stop the giant from eating all the cows can easily find the giant before too many cows are eaten by using a binary search.

Extra for experts

You could change the setting and characters but keep the theme of the story!

Remember that a searching algorithm follows the same rules every time to find an answer.

Most educators don't spend their days thinking about cybersecurity. Between classroom management, learning objectives, and so much more, it usually doesn't rise to top priority. But as technology evolves and continues to become more integrated into every aspect of our lives-including mental health and biometrics-and cybercrime increases and sometimes targets schools, cybersecurity is something we need to be mindful about and help students understand.

Use these questions to help you find the information you need:

What is cybersecurity?

In its simplest form, cybersecurity is everyone working together to keep our information safe and our computer systems secure.
More specifically, cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access that can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Is it different from online privacy? If so, how?

Online privacy is just one small part of cybersecurity, which encompasses much more. Privacy is more about personal data and the control you have over it. Security is more about the systems that contain such data and preventing people from gaining unauthorized access to information.

What are the absolute basics I need to know?

Everyone who uses technology, even just a smartphone, should be familiar with common types of scams and know how to protect themselves, their data, and their devices. And when we're aware of the latest kinds of attacks and able to protect ourselves, then we can also help our students and our schools. For example, setting a strong password and enabling multifactor authentication are simple steps that can have a huge impact.

What steps can I take in my classroom to protect cybersecurity?

These basic steps apply to everyone:

Start with the passwords that you and your students use. Are they complex? Have young students change their passwords every year, more often as they get older. This video provides more detail, and here's a website where you can test a password's strength.

Think about personally identifiable information. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and any other information that would allow a stranger to know exactly who you are. Be mindful of sharing this information: When, where, and why are you inputting your own information or student data?

Keep devices updated. This can protect them from attacks. Create a routine for updating software and apps on a regular basis.

Make it a classroom rule to "pause and think" while online. Never click on a suspicious link or pop-up window. This also applies to QR codes-don't scan any that look suspicious. These can easily contain malware and viruses.

I teach young kids. What can I teach them about cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity can be an intimidating topic, but there are simple elements you can incorporate into your classroom. Additionally, teaching young kids about cybersecurity is an important step in helping them develop safe and responsible online habits.

Here are some key concepts that can be taught to elementary school students:

General digital citizenship: Teach younger students about the importance of being a responsible digital citizen. This includes respecting the privacy of others as well as following the rules and guidelines set by their parents, school, or community.

Device care: Make sure kids know how to take care of their devices, including keeping track of them and charging them. Not only will this help prevent lost devices, but also it lays the foundation for keeping them updated down the road.

Online safety: Tell students that they need to be careful about what they click, since sometimes things they click on can make their devices sick with a virus. This includes links, pop-ups, and ads. As they get older, you can expand this advice to QR codes and downloadable attachments. They also need to be aware of the safety of the site itself.

Passwords: Help students create strong passwords. Encourage them to use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. In upper elementary school, students should be encouraged to set up multifactor authentication when possible.

Personal information: Teach students to be careful about sharing personal information online, such as their full name, address, phone number, and birthday. Encourage them to share this information only with trusted sources, and remind them to never post it publicly. When creating a username, students shouldn't use any part of their real name or birthday.

I teach middle school students. What can I teach them about cybersecurity?

By this point, students are online a lot. They have access to devices, maybe use social media, play games online, and more. Teaching middle school kids about cybersecurity is an important step in continuing their development of healthy online habits.

Here are some key concepts that can be taught to middle school students:

Online privacy: Continue to reinforce the concept of online privacy, including the risks associated with sharing personal information publicly on social media platforms. Emphasize the importance of adjusting privacy settings and being cautious about what they share online. Talk about how sites and apps might use that data.

Phishing awareness: Introduce students to the concept of phishing and show them how to identify suspicious emails, messages, or links that may attempt to steal personal information. Teach them to be cautious when clicking on unfamiliar links or sharing sensitive information.

Malware and viruses: Introduce the concept of malware and viruses, and discuss the potential risks they pose to devices and personal information. Teach students about the importance of using antivirus software and not downloading anything that looks suspicious.

Internet safety: Cover general internet safety practices, including being cautious about downloading files from unknown sources, recognizing fake websites, and avoiding interactions with strangers online.

Digital footprint: Help students understand how their online actions can leave a permanent trail. As they enter the world of social media, it's even easier to believe posts and messages disappear, so kids need to understand that they don't.

Online gaming safety: Address the importance of safe online gaming practices, including the risks associated with sharing personal information during gameplay and interacting with strangers.

I teach high school students. What can I teach them about cybersecurity?

High school students can benefit from a more in-depth understanding of cybersecurity concepts. It's essential to provide hands-on activities, simulations, and real-world examples to engage high school students in cybersecurity concepts.

Here are some cybersecurity concepts that can be taught to high school students:

Threat landscape: Discuss the current cybersecurity landscape, including common types of cyberthreats, such as phishing, malware, ransomware and social engineering. Help students understand the evolving nature of cybersecurity risks and the need for awareness.

Secure communication: Teach students about the importance of secure communication methods, such as using encryption, secure messaging apps, and virtual private networks (VPNs) to protect their online conversations and data.

Social engineering: Explain social engineering techniques used to manipulate individuals and gain unauthorized access to systems or information. Discuss common social engineering tactics, such as pretexting, phishing, and baiting to help students recognize and resist such attempts.

Network security: Introduce the basics of network security, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and secure Wi-Fi practices. Teach students about the risks of using unsecured public Wi-Fi networks and the importance of securing their home networks.

Data privacy and protection: Educate students about data privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Help them understand their rights regarding personal data and the importance of organizations protecting user data.

Ethical hacking and penetration testing: Introduce the concept of ethical hacking and system testing, explaining how these activities help identify vulnerabilities in systems and improve security. Emphasize the importance of obtaining proper authorization and ethical guidelines when conducting tests.

Multifactor authentication (MFA): Teach students about the benefits of using multifactor authentication to enhance account security. Explain how MFA adds an additional layer of protection by requiring a second verification step, such as a unique code sent to a mobile device.

Cybersecurity careers: Introduce students to various careers in cybersecurity, such as cybersecurity analyst, ethical hacker, digital forensics expert, and security consultant. Discuss the skills and qualifications needed for these roles and the demand for cybersecurity professionals in today's job market.

Online research and source evaluation: Help students develop critical thinking skills to evaluate online sources for reliability, credibility, and potential biases. Teach them to discern between trustworthy and potentially misleading information, particularly in the context of cybersecurity.

Are there other facets of cybersecurity to be aware of?

Cybersecurity is an ever-changing field, as systems and networks become more advanced, and the next generation is going to be innovating, maintaining, and strengthening these digital security efforts. We're all connected to devices and other people more than ever before, and much of our information and assets exist in cyberspace. Just as physical security continues to be imperative to protecting ourselves, cybersecurity is even more necessary in today's world.

Confidential messages not intended for anyone else's eyes or ears-even children play around with enciphering by creating their own secret code at school that only the addressee can figure out and no one else. People have been working with the principles of encryption for over 3,000 years, starting in Egypt and Mesopotamia when they simply replaced their familiar symbols with others. From the 15th century, text was encrypted using the polyalphabetic system, whereby a letter could be substituted with more than one character. The best-known apparatus is probably the Enigma, a device used during the Second World War-its name is now synonymous with encryption machines.
