I think that beyond the obvious skills (encrypting everything, using HTTPS and TOR where possible) you need to instill in them a healthy sense of paranoia. If they think the government is reading their Facebook chat messages they're sure as hell not going to use it.

I'm going to teach about HTTPS (It's already on the GCSE syllabus), but teaching TOR might be an issue. Giving students the skills to access the deepweb (Silk Road for instance) might cause some problems with parents.
