PERSONAL AND PRIVATE INFORMATION
Picture

THE LESSON MISSION

Picture
  • I can identify the reasons why people share information about themselves online.
​
  • I can explain the difference between private and personal information.
​
  • I can explain why it's risky to share private information online.

ACTIVITY 1 - THINK ABOUT IT

Last week, you learned that you have a digital identity. Your digital identity is who you are online. You learned that you want to make sure people understand who you are so they do not make assumptions about you.  

But, do you know why people want to share things online about themselves in the first place?

​digital identity: everything about you online

digital footprint: a record of what you do online, including the sites you visit and the things you share

digital trail:  A path or track that someone can follow online

permanent: something that lasts forever

personal information: information about you that can be true for others as well

private information: information about you that can be used to identify who you are​

ACTIVITY 2 - VIDEO

The ability to share who were are online has many wonderful benefits, but you need to stay safe online. What type of information about you is okay to share online? What type isn’t? Let's watch a video to answer these questions.
Reflecting on the Video
  • What information should not be shared online?
  • What information is ok to share on line?

ACTIVITY 3 - DIGITAL TRAILS

​So, now you know that your digital identity is everything about you online. Every time you are online, whether it is a website, a game, an app, or social media, you leave a digital footprint. A digital footprint is a record that you have been there. All of our digital footprints create a digital trail, or an online path. These trails are permanent, meaning they last forever. If we are not responsible with our digital trails by keeping what we post personal, people we don't know might be able to get our private information. 

Now, you are going to do an activity called Digital Tracks.  John Jones and Jane Smith have left a Trail of Digital Footprints.  Follow their trail to see who's digital footprints include private information.

DIGITAL TRACKING DETECTIVES
Use the digital trails above for John Jones and Jane Smith to answer the questions in your online assignment below.  
Today you learned about how the information we leave online is our digital footprint and our digital footprints are permanent. You now know what information is safe to share online and what information you should not share.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Congratulations! You accomplished your mission!
I can identify information that is safe to have in my digital footprint.
