Sssh! That's Private Information!

 

We are learning to understand why some information is private and why we as humans like sharing personal information about ourselves.

It is awesome to want to share things with others - actually it’s part of what makes us human (see the slide above).

But some information shouldn't be shared online:

• Your full name

• Your full address

• Your date of birth

This information is private and can be used to identify you.

We practiced turning private information into personal information:

Private vs Personal - Do You Agree?

We are learning what information is private information and should only be told to people we trust. 

We completed a drag and drop activity to show which personal information we would share online and which private information we would not share online.

We had to give a reason why each item should be in a public or private category
and shared what we had chosen with a buddy.

Do you agree with what we decided?
