<p>Hi lovely people,</p>
<p>Thanks for helping with the upcoming Security Education
Companion!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This email will include:</p>
<blockquote>
<p> a few updates, <br>
</p>
<p>a document of our advice for new digital security facilitators,
<br>
</p>
<p>and a revised list of names of who is involved at this stage.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As always, please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to
chat about the initiative or have questions. I know how busy all
of you are, and really appreciate your time.</p>
<p>Wishing you well,<br>
</p>

<p><b>Updates</b><br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>+ We've been super busy on our end at EFF, and our documents
are still going through a few rounds of revision (technical,
proofreading, and legal reviews). In the meantime, I've been
working with our web development team to develop our website,
and I've been working on the graphics accompanying lessons. The
soft launch is planned for <b>November 15th</b>, with a plan to
iterate on the materials in the months after.<br>
</p>
<p>+ Our documents are coming along, but as you might imagine,
there are a lot of moving pieces. Our content is split up
into... </p>
<blockquote>
<p>+ <b>Security Education 101</b>: things that we wish we knew
when we first started teaching, which we hope are helpful for
others. Our intended audience is US-based beginner trainers
who are teaching digital security during 1-4 hour events to
friends and neighbors. (I've included these for you today.)<br>
</p>
<p><b>+ Lesson modules:</b> topic based content. (We're
sprinting on these now.)</p>
<p>+ <b>Educational materials:</b> graphics, gifs, handouts,
and so on that a trainer can use in workshops. (I'm sprinting
on these now.)<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>+<b> Security News</b>: This section is directly pulled from
our <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.eff.org/issues/security-education">Security
Education tag</a>, which grabs relevant content from EFF's
Deeplinks blog. The hope is that this can serve as a helpful
curated resource for new digital security trainers.<br>

<p><b>A document</b> <b>ready for your eyes -- Security Education
101</b><b><br>
</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p>+ I've included a Share/Riseup link to our Security Education
101 articles. The hope is that new trainers read these pieces
first, before diving into their first awareness-raising training
or workshop.<b> </b><br>
<b></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b> </b>I'm excited to share this piece with you today: <b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://share.riseup.net/#XqP1X25DYV4qUOPiF1FixQ">https://share.riseup.net/#XqP1X25DYV4qUOPiF1FixQ</a></b><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>+ The intended audience for these articles: Beginner trainers.</p>
<blockquote>
<p> By beginner trainer, we mean someone who is: 1) new to
digital security concepts, but has experience with teaching
and has been nominated by their group to teach, or 2)
experienced with digital security concepts, but has limited/no
experience with teaching and could use some help. These were
written with the sentiment that it's easier and less painful
to learn from the mistakes of others. They came out of our own
experiences with training, as well as from the many collective
discussions and informal interviews with other digital
security trainers.<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>+ Comments that are helpful at this stage before launch
(reminder that we launch on Nov. 15, so please keep suggestions
actionable):</p>
<ul>
<li>Do these pieces appropriately set expectations for someone
new to teaching digital security?<br>
</li>
<li>Is our tone friendly / encouraging enough for a newbie?</li>
<li>Do we caution new trainers at the right points?</li>
<li>Would you feel comfortable sharing these with a new trainer?<br>
</li>
</ul>
