Hi everyone!

I’m an ethical hacker, and my work has been recognized by major tech companies.

I’m thinking about creating an online course to help parents keep their kids safe online, and I’d really love your input to make sure it actually helps.

Some of the topics I’m considering covering:

  • Online risks for kids, including scams and predators
  • Social media safety (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat)
  • Device & account security
  • How to spot scams, fake links, and suspicious messages
  • Gaming safety (voice chat, scams, in-game purchases)
  • Protecting personal information
  • Healthy screen time & digital habits
  • How to talk to kids about online safety
  • What to do if something goes wrong
  • AI safety, school/homework tech safety, simple home network basics

Would this kind of course be useful to you? Are there other topics or formats that would help you more?

Your feedback would mean a lot and will actually shape how the course is created.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

  • I would added in a section on creating and storing strong passwords.

    Thanks for feedback. You mean teach parents how to educate kids on creating strong passwords or something else?

    Yes, or emphasis the importance of their child creating strong passwords.

    And don’t get me started on posting pictures… school and sports logo t-shirts, backpacks, … they need to know what info the public can obtain and even how a picture can be manipulated.

    Or geo location blocking..

    When I taught, students would just change a character or 2 from postal code … in Canada you can identify 2-3 sq miles of where a person lives with the first 3 characters
