-Understand what kinds of personal information should be kept private.

-Remember that everyone deserves to have their privacy decisions respected.

Activity 1 Summarizer:

Secrets are just one type of personal information that we might want to keep private or share only with trusted family or friends. Once you’ve shared a secret, you’re no longer fully in control of where it can go.

Activity 2: Who's profile is this, anyway?

^{Goal/Objective for students:}

• Identify ways information can be found online about people. 

• Consider how judgments are made about a person when they post things online.

• Determine accuracy of information and identify the difference between assumption, opinion, and fact.

Activity 2 summarizer

When we see people’s posts, comments, and photos, we make guesses about them that arenʼt always correct, especially if we don’t know them.

That’s because what we’re seeing online is only part of who they are and what they care about. We can make assumptions and form opinions. However we do not know the facts about a person until we meet them.

Multiple Choice

Determine whether the following statement is a fact, an opinion, or an assumption.

"I think the next President of the United States of America should be, Lebron James."

Activity 3: How do others see us?

Goal/Objective for Students:

• Understand the perspectives of people other than ourselves when weʼre deciding whether or not to share information online. 

• Consider the consequences of exposing personal information: What you share becomes part of your reputation, which can last a long time.

• Develop a goal to proactively create a positive online presence.

Activity 3 summarizer:

Different situations call for different levels of privacy. Thinking about how other people would view what you post is the key to good online privacy habits.

Different people can see the same information and draw different conclusions from it. Donʼt assume that people online will see you the way you think theyʼll see you.
