Unit 4


Scams in the primary classroom. I would start of simple. A good activity might include having students distinguish between real emails and fake or scame emails or messages. For example, I would show the student the following message.

Clearly, in this scenario the message is a scam. Once students recognise the difference between the fake and real message they could have turns at making their own fake message to give to their friend and in a role play situation students can act out what they would do if they received a scam email or message. Students could use the scenario above then to identify why it is a scam and explain why it is fake.

In regards to passwords. The following resource from the Goodwill Community Foundation would be a useful resource.
