FLIP: SMART ONLINE SHOPPING
Welcome to your very first FLIP, where we bring financial literacy into focus with real-life applications, practical teaching strategies and extra resources. This FLIP's topic is SOS!!! Smart Online Shopping.
What’s Smart Online Shopping about?
SOS!!! Smart Online Shopping teaches your students to be savvy online consumers. This module tackles essential online issues including security, scams, spending within your budget and more. This Module is relevant to a range of curriculum, including:
Why should your students care?
With so much of our online transactions (and lives) taking place on the internet, it’s essential that students learn to recognise and avoid online scams and security issues. Every time you’re online, you’re exposed to potential online risks (even when you’re just on facebook!) Being savvy is the best protection.
Smart Online Shopping in real life
Smart Online Shopping was in the news headlines just a few short weeks ago when eBay announced a breach of its online security. This was due to a widespread encryption bug known as Heartbleed. This video explains a little about what
Heartbleed is, and how it affected millions of internet users around the world.
