Round 2: Quick Fire

1. • It is long
   • It cannot be guessed, so it avoids your name, birthday or pet
   • It is different for each account
   Model answer

   A strong password is long, such as three random words, and it is not guessable, so it does not use your name, birthday or pet.

2. • Someone else could use your account
   • Anything they do looks like you did it
   Model answer

   If you stay logged in, someone else could use your account, and anything they do would look like you did it, so you could be blamed.

3. • The network is usually backed up
   • A USB stick can be lost, broken or stolen
   Model answer

   Files on the school network are usually backed up, so there is another copy. A USB stick is not backed up and can easily be lost or broken.

4. • It is safeguarding, to keep students safe
   • To spot bullying, harm or dangerous content
   Model answer

   It is safeguarding, not spying. The school watches its network to keep students safe and to spot bullying or harmful content early.

Round 3: Big Think

1. • A dog's name is easy to guess, for example from social media
   • If one account is hacked, all the others are open too
   • Use a long password, such as three random words
   • Use a different password for each account
   • Never share the password
   Model answer

   A dog's name is easy to guess, especially if the dog appears on social media. Because the same password is used everywhere, if one account is hacked all the other accounts are open too. Instead the student should use a long password made of three random words, and a different password for each account.

2. • Use a strong password
   • Never share a password, even with a friend
   • Log off shared computers
   • Posts can be screenshotted and kept forever
   • Do not type what you would not say to someone's face, in front of a teacher
   • Tell an adult if something makes you uncomfortable
   • Keep personal details out of passwords
   Model answer

   A student should use a strong password, such as three random words, and never share it, even with a friend. They should always log off shared computers so nobody can act as them. They should remember that anything they post can be screenshotted and kept forever, so they should only post what they would say to someone's face in front of a teacher. If something online makes them uncomfortable, they should tell an adult, because they will not be in trouble for reporting it.

This or That

1. lantern-copper-badger Three random words are long and hard to guess. One word with a number on the end is short and easy to crack.
2. Log off Anything done on your account while you are logged in looks like you did it.
3. It is not backed up and is easy to lose Files on the network are usually backed up. A USB stick is not, and it is easy to lose.
4. Your birthday Birthdays, names and pets are easy to guess, especially from social media.
5. Yes, with a screenshot Anything you post can be screenshotted and kept forever, whatever the app promises.
6. To keep students safe It is safeguarding, not spying.
7. No: reporting it is the right thing You will not be in trouble for reporting something. Telling an adult is always right.
8. No, each needs its own If one account's password leaks, the other account is open too.
