create new passwords using guidelines for powerful passwords.
Age group Primary Education (6 to 12 years),
For which age group is the activity recommended? You can either
narrow it down to a concrete age, or use the following categories:
Preschool, Primary Education (6 to 12 years), Lower Secondary (12
to 16 years), and Upper Secondary (16 to 18/19 years)
Learning space space should the activity take place the computer room
In what type of room or space should the activity take place? The
classroom, the computer room, the gym, at home, etc. Does the space
have any requirements or need any preparations? For instance,
closing the curtains for a projection, or moving desks to free space,
creating different workstations, etc.

keep in mind that the less materials and the more affordable they
are, the easier will it be to replicate your lesson plan. You can also
list optional materials that are not required to successfully complete
the lesson plan, but that would add value to the lesson.

2. Developing the Lesson Plan

In order to replicate your lesson plan, other educators need to understand clearly each step of the process. Please, use clear language, add the necessary
details, and ensure that a person who is not familiar with your teaching context and methods is able to replicate the lesson plan. We recommend dividing
the lesson plan into steps, and to detail each step in one row of the table below. For instance, a simple lesson plan can be divided into an introduction, a
game, and a debriefing discussion.

Method Details and description Time

Which type of facilitation method or activity
do you use for this part? For instance, a
discussion, a presentation, a role-play game,
a collaboration game, a discussion,
assessment such as quizzes etc.
Warm-up
Brainstorming and discussion
Provide details of the content of this activity. Ensure that the lesson plan can be replicated by other Approximately, how
educators by being detailed and using clear language. For instance, describe which materials are being long does this part of
used, whether students work individually or in groups (and the size of those groups), what is the teacher the lesson plan take?
doing, which instructions are the students given, what contents are being covered, etc.
A Brainstorming tools such as IdeaBoardz we can be used for brainstorming and (10 minutes)
collection of resources about for password and protect .
The students answer the following questions :
 What is a combination lock?
 Do you ever use a combination lock? If so, what for?
 How would you feel if someone else used your password and pretended to be
you on one of these sites? For instance, what if someone used your passwordto
steal points that you have collected ina video game?

Afrer discuss with students that :

 people use locks to keep their belongings safe and protected.
 online passwords are similar to the combinations for a lock. They are secret
combinations of letters and numbers that only you know. Passwords keep other
 people from seeing your private information on the Internet. For example, tell
students that passwords allow them to save their points after playing an online
game. When they’re older, they will use passwords to do many things, such as
keep track oftheir money or shop online.
 knowing how to create powerful passwords will prevent other people from
pretending to be them and help them keep their private information and money
secure. Passwords protect one’s identity.

Activity 1
Answer the Perfect Passwords Q & A.
Using Google Forms students complete the Dos and Don’ts of Powerful Passwords 20 minutes
Student Handout, making their best guesses about whether statements should begin with
a “Do” or a “Don’t.”
Review answers with students once they are finished. Encourage students to correct their
handouts so that they can refer to the tips in the future.

Activity 2 Pallet can be used for Brainstorm as a group any ideas for strong passwords.
Brainstorm as a group any ideas for strong Ask studens Which tips did you know? Which ones surprised you?
passwords. Answers will vary.Remind students that they should not carry their passwords with them,
tape them to their computers, or share them with friends. It is also wise for students to let
trusted family members know about their passwords. They
can help students find a safe place to store their written passwords.
Activity 2 We tell students that you will now practice creating a new, secure password. 15 minutes
Make a Secure Password We distribute four blank index cards or strips of paper to each student.
We tell students to write down an answer for each of the following categories, one per
blank index card or
strip of paper:
 Favorite number
 Pet’s name, or favorite character’s name
 A symbol (#, $, %, *, or &)
 Favorite food
Students arrange the four strips in various combinations to create a new password,
keeping in mind the dos and don’ts tips they discussed earlier. When they’ve finished,
 have them share their new password with a partner, and then have them vote on which
password they consider the strongest. For an added challenge, students can tear words
apart to create more options for combinations.
We invite students to share their winning passwords with the class using Dotstorming ,
and vote what makes them so strong.
Closing We show students how to create a password with the online password generator Dinopass
(www.dinopass.com) and and I ask students to create a free account and to play a related
BeakoutEDU game that was co-created with Common Sense Education, called Lip Sync
Revenge!

Blended and remote learning environments

Can the activity be replicated in a blended learning environment (online and offline teaching combined) or in a remote learning scenario (fully online teaching)? If so, for which of
these two learning environments can it be adapted, or both? Which tools and what preparations are necessary?
The activity can be replicated in a remote learning scenario (fully online teaching).
The tools necessary are :

3. Follow up of the Lesson Plan
This section is optional, as not every topic or activity has materials available to complete this. However, we encourage you to try to find materials for
follow up and to suggest an evaluation method of the lesson plan!

Follow material and/or homework Homework

Help learners complete their learning
process by suggestion materials the educator
can suggest them to read or work on. This
can be readings, exercises, websites, a more
challenging level of the activity carried out
in the lesson plan, etc. If you share any
external resources, ensure you have the
rights to share those resources.
Have students test the password of a parent or guardian. Students should bring home their completed Dos and
Don’ts of Powerful Passwords Student Handout. They should ask their parent if they can test their passwords based
on the Dos and Don’ts they learned at school. Students should give their parents one point for each correct answer,
and they should subtract one point for each one that is incorrect. Students can share their parents’ scores when they
return to class.
