CodeHS Announces First Online Blended K12 Cybersecurity Course and Professional Development
CodeHS is excited to announce the first online blended K12 cybersecurity course, along with online professional development. This course will be available for free to schools worldwide in fall of 2018 and professional development will be available for teachers in summer of 2018.
“In a technology-driven world, coding is now a foundational skill, just like reading and writing. From the Equifax hack, to ransomware, to Wannacry, to election hacking, to data breaches from massive companies, cybersecurity is a topic that isn’t going away — it’s only going to become more important. With the CodeHS cybersecurity course we are preparing students with crucial skills to be responsible citizens in a digital future,” says Jeremy Keeshin, CEO and co-founder of CodeHS.
The CodeHS cybersecurity course will cover foundational topics in a fun and friendly way for students including networking fundamentals, software security, and basics of cryptography, all through the CodeHS web-based platform. The professional development course will prepare teachers to teach this course, which will all be aligned to CSTA standards.
