Preparing children for safe behavior on the Internet is one of the most important tasks of secondary school, which is recognized at the state level. It is confirmed by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 2, 2015 "Concept of Information Security of Children for 2018–2020" and the order of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation of February 27, 2018 "On Approval of the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Concept of Information Security of Children for 2018–2020". The First Region Week of Cybersecurity was held as part of the implementation of this plan in October 2018 in the Arkhangelsk region. The article is devoted to the description of one of the events of this week — the contest of tasks on cybersecurity. The article presents the conceptual basis for the development of a system of competitive tasks, which were offered to schoolchildren of different classes of secondary school, and provides examples of problems with solutions. The authors of the article believe that the inclusion of such tasks in the content of school computer science textbooks will give teachers really effective tools to prepare schoolchildren for recognizing cyberthreats and the correct behavior when meeting with them.
The article presents a methodically based approach to the creation of teachers’ own educational content using digital tools following a given learning goal. The composition of the described methodology includes seven main elements, starting from the content to be studied and ending with the implementation of the created educational content.The theory of digital transformation of education, the theory of personality-oriented learning, the theory of a system-activity approach in teaching constitute, the methodological basis of the study. The object of the research is the process of creating educational content, the subject is the methodological conditions of the application of digital tools for the development of educational content following a given learning goal. In the course of the research, such methods as analysis of psychological, pedagogical, and methodological literature on the research topic, analysis of digital tools, theoretical modeling, and experimental training were used.As the results of research, the role of educational content created with the help of digital tools was determined, the need for teachers to develop their own educational content using digital tools was proved, the methodology for using digital tools to develop educational content following a given learning goal was described, and finally an example of the implementation of the methodology in the process of creating the web quest «Cybercriminals: fiction or reality?», addressed to V grade students was presented.Authors of the article have not only developed a technique of applying digital tools for creation of the educational content according to the set purpose of training but also have created and implemented the additional professional program of professional development “Digital tools of development of an educational content” in the educational process.The value of the presented research is that the methodology developed by the authors can be implemented by teachers who have no special IT training. It allows teachers to switch to a personalized and effective learning model in any lesson.
The need for schoolchildren to develop safe behavior skills in cyberspace is justified in the article. One way is to use web-quest technology. The article contains a brief description of this technology and an example of its use in teaching the basics of cybersecurity.
