Case Study

You are working with a class of 11-year olds and you have heard many of them sharing the passwords to their school internet accounts and saying they use the same passwords for all their accounts.
  1. What are the risks in the information they are sharing?
  2. How can you demonstrate the importance of keeping passwords private, having different passwords for different accounts, and making the passwords difficult to guess?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
