In line with NEP 2020’s focus on cyber safety education, integrating secure digital gaming practices into school programs is essential. As online gaming grows popular among students, they must understand the importance of protecting personal information and practicing responsible online behavior.
Teaching students about risks like cyberbullying, online fraud, and identity theft prepares them to respond effectively. Incorporating digital literacy skills—such as creating strong passwords and managing privacy settings—empowers students to navigate gaming platforms safely. Additionally, promoting ethical gaming, respect for privacy, and positive online behavior fosters responsible digital citizenship and ensures a safe, supportive environment for students to enjoy gaming responsibly.
Online training on Secure Practices for Digital Gaming
To promote cyber safety and security in alignment with NEP 2020, CIET-NCERT, in collaboration with ISEA, CDAC, and MeitY, Hyderabad, has organized a series of training sessions on “Cyber Safety and Security.” In November 2024, a 5-hour online training titled “Secure Practices for Digital Gaming” is scheduled to run from November 4 – 8 in English and November 11 – 15 in Hindi, from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm each day.
This program aims to enhance the understanding of teachers, students, and educational stakeholders on safe digital gaming practices. The sessions will be live-streamed on the NCERT YouTube Channel NCERT Official and simulcast on PMeVidya DTH TV Channels (#6-12) and the Jio TV mobile app.
