RING (Regions Investing in the Next Generation) is an online high school cybersecurity course that offers interesting and engaging content specifically for students and schools without an existing cybersecurity program. RING aims to mentor students down their career path, instilling ethics and pride in their profession along the way. RING is more than a collection of labs and presentations–it’s forging the tools that will shape the next generation of cybersecurity experts.
RING is funded through NSA CAE-C K12 Pathway grants. The list of involved institutions are:

Attention all K12 educators: The NEW AND UPDATED Cyber Citizenship Initiative site is now LIVE! The new site has over 1,000 resources for teaching K-12 students about misinformation and disinformation, as well as online communities for educators to join, collaborate, and curate content.
The Cyber Citizenship Initiative began as a platform to help resolve challenges with misinformation and online polarization occurring at the intersection of media literacy, digital civics and citizenship, and cybersecurity, with a special focus on aiding K-12 teachers. The ultimate goal of the project is to support educators seeking to build students’ resilience against the new challenges and threats of the digital world through an online portal consisting of a (1) repository of vetted resources from across the internet, (2) space to build an active virtual community of educators and resource reviewers, (3) and provide a series of live and pre-recorded online trainings.
Project partners for the initiative include Cyber Florida, the Florida Center for Instructional Technology (FCIT), National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) and New America. Check out the new site at www.cybercitizenshipeducation.org
Want to get involved? Educators can create and upload learning modules, lessons, assignments, assessments, or activities to share with other educators within the portal. To learn more, visit: https://cybercitizenshipeducation.org/authoring-overview
Cyber Florida and New America have launched CyberCitzenshipEducation.org, a free online portal that contains 100 resources for teaching K-12 students about misinformation, disinformation, social media platforms, and other related topics. The hub, which launched on August 16, offers lesson plans, games, instructional materials, and other resources to help not only K-12 teachers, but also librarians, instructional technologists, and others seeking instructional materials to help students develop resilience to misinformation and disinformation.
This new hub was created in part of the Cyber Citizenship Education Initiative, a partnership among Cyber Florida, the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, New America, and the National Association for Media Literacy Education to help educate and prepare future voters to be responsible, cyber-savvy citizens. Since its inception, the project has focused on supporting educators in PreK-12 schools to arm students with “cyber citizenship” skills, skills at the intersection of media literacy, civics and citizenship, and cybersecurity awareness. While the hub is currently hosted by OERCommons, a custom platform is under construction that will launch later this year.
