A K-12 online privacy study led by a North Carolina State University (NC State) researcher reveals a need for consistent education about digital safety for elementary school students, school staff and parents. The study identified concerns raised by teachers about cyberbullying, students accessing inappropriate content online and other digital student safety issues.
The study, "Teacher and School Concerns and Actions on Elementary School Children Digital Safety," was based on interviews with 10 elementary school teachers. Drawing from concerns raised in the study, researchers identified cybersecurity strategies K-12 cybersecurity leaders can employ.
