Comparing Teacher and Creator Perspectives on the Design of Cybersecurity and Privacy
summary
Qualitative interviews with 15 middle school teachers and 8 creators show a clear mismatch: teachers predominantly use free, low‑tech, modular and modifiable lesson plans, short videos and segmented activities to fit emergent classroom needs and prioritize critical thinking and emotional safety, while creators build games and interactive media aimed at trends and funding priorities. Only about 30% of available tools report any evaluation, and many developed resources never reach students because they aren’t adaptable to teachers’ constraints.
