This week, I also enhanced the K-12 Cyber Incident Map by adding video clips of news reports of select incidents since 2016. In addition, I’ve begun to do some cursory analyses of the data set underlying the map in an attempt to identify patterns that may be useful in responding via policy and practice. What then of the students?
