As young children increasingly use the Internet, the children need to learn and apply cybersecurity fundamentals to protect personal data. Teaching young students the basics of strong passwords and data protection in a K-12 classroom setting is an obvious starting point. The literature shows an absence of approved cybersecurity curriculums for use in public schools. It also indicates that many teachers are unfamiliar with cybersecurity. It is unknown how best to overcome these challenges; however, teacher involvement will be key. This qualitative case study explored teachers' perceptions of password security and data protection awareness for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 through a technology exposure activity, a questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview, and identified the needs for such education. The study sample consisted of a group of 17 teachers from schools in a region of a U.S. Western state. The study used NVivo software for data analysis. The results revealed that technology exposure was useful for teachers to gain a better understanding of strong password creation and management, and data protection concepts. The findings also showed that teachers acknowledged the need for cybersecurity education, however, finding and allocating time needed to conduct research, and develop and implement a curriculum for such an education program would be problematic. Given the time constraints of a typical school day, an overriding concern for all participants was the belief that inclusion of any cybersecurity education could be done only at the expense of existing curriculum. As such, consideration for future research should explore more broadly the availability and use of online resources and digital games to facilitate the integration of effective basic cybersecurity training into classroom curriculums at the lowest cost and least impact to existing programs.
