Activity

This activity will highlight the differences in software versions for each participant’s computer. At the end, the discussion will focus on teasing out current practices (or lack thereof) for keeping software up to date, and then lead to the Input section where best practices will be presented.
When making the matrix, leave enough space to fit everyone’s version number in as they share them out.
The training participants will be asked to:

• Identifying the operating systems participants are using.
• Checking the first line of defence e.g. screen locks.
• Checking the update center for any device updates .
• Checking device storage to make sure they are clean and not full.
• Monitoring device behavior. This is a convenient way for the user to review the state of their system and immediately locate Security and Maintenance issues that need attention.
• Games for testing knowledge e.g. Kahoot!
• Reviewing mobile application permissions.

Software Treasure Hunt:
In this Activity, participants take a close look at the software on their computer and answer key questions regarding each application’s safety and status. This then leads into a Discussion about key habits for safer management of existing software, and for downloading new software.
