Classroom lesson · Grades 9-12
A ready-to-teach 50-minute lesson for grades 9-12: verifying voices, videos, images and offers in the age of AI. Big idea: You cannot always tell real from fake by looking or listening, but you can always check by a route you already trust, and you can choose never to make or spread fake media of a real person. Includes a teacher lesson plan with scripts, student worksheets “Verify first, Red flag scam or Likely legitimate?” and “My verification routine”, an answer key, 10 scenario cards, a 9-slide outline and a family sheet in English and Spanish.

Classroom lesson · Teachers, Students
Students learn the five common routes to account takeover (password reuse and credential stuffing, phishing kits, one-time-code tricks and SIM swaps), compare defenses from passphrases and password managers to app-based MFA, number matching and passkeys, then run a tabletop exercise: a friend's account was hijacked and their group has 10 minutes to build a recovery plan as new problems arrive.
