In "ICT Education" that utilizes information and communication technology, some elementary and junior high schools were operated to "submit a tablet terminal password to the homeroom".Lighter Tomohiro Akagi says, "Teaching passwords to others is out of the question. It is inappropriate operation that reduces children's IT literacy."[See the image of this article] ■ In the first place, it is a problem to write it out on paper in the first year, a parent with an elementary school child in Chigasaki City in Chigasaki City, "Write a tablet terminal password from the school and submit it to the homeroom teacher.I saw it tweeting with the content.According to the tweet, the print from the school said, "One year has passed since the account was granted, so we will change the password from the viewpoint of information security."In addition, it was written that "change the password and fill out the password change notification" and submit it.The contributor was dissatisfied with "I don't understand the meaning."At this stage, the school has made three mistakes.First, write your password on paper.Next, change the password once decided after one year.And, above all, teach others, who are in charge of the password.Writing a password on paper leads to a danger of social engineering, a "password stealing".The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has stated a password management method, saying, "Let's manage it so that it is not known to others and do not forget it."On top of that, "If you make a memo so that you do not forget it yourself, try to keep it strictly, such as not being able to see it, so that it will not be seen by others."We recommend managing it near yourself.If you put a paper with a password in a place where you cannot manage yourself, such as the staff room, and is not guaranteed, the risk of stealing will increase.
