Miscellaneous / / December 01, 2023
We are used to solving our problems using the Internet: searching for information, watching movies, playing games, buying the things we need. It's fast and convenient, but not always safe. Online scammers are after our data, resources and money. In this course, we have collected information about types of fraud on the Internet and how to counter them. We want the Internet to be not a threat, but a real helper for all users. We prepared this course for schoolchildren in grades 6–9, but it will also be useful for parents, as well as teachers who plan to teach about safe use of the Internet, for example, during the All-Russian lesson on Internet safety, or conduct financial lessons literacy. The course has three sections. Each section consists of a summary for self-study, a video lesson and a test that helps you better understand the material studied. We hope that the course will help young Internet users not to fall for scammers. We wish you safe travels online!
