Week One

Social Media, Gaming and the Metaverse

Social media and online games are great ways to stay connected, interact and have fun with family and friends. Knowing how to do so safely while protecting your identity and personal information is essential.

With the increase in popularity of the Metaverse, those interactions are also occurring in virtual 3D worlds via avatars and technologies such as virtual reality (VR) headsets and augmented reality apps. Some of those interactions can occur in unmoderated worlds increasing the risk of youth and children being exposed to inappropriate content and interactions.

Week Two

Their favorite techniques include phishing emails, phishing SMS or text messages (also known as “smishing”) and spoofing websites and phone numbers to try and trick us into divulging sensitive information such as our identity, personal information and account details and passwords.
