Are You Safe Online?

Welcome students! Introduce today’s session: we’ll learn how to stay safe online by protecting our privacy, creating strong passwords, and communicating respectfully.

Learning Goals

Review what students will learn today. Encourage them to ask questions as we go.

What Is Digital Privacy & Data Protection?

Define each term clearly. Ask: What personal details do you keep private? Invite examples.

Why Privacy Matters

Share real-life examples (e.g., posting your birthday leads to unwanted messages). Emphasize thinking before posting.

Password Power-Up

Introduce the [Password Power-Up Challenge](#password-power-up-challenge). Show weak vs. strong examples and invite student input.

Cyberbullying: Spot & Stop

Define cyberbullying and share brief examples. Ask students if they’ve encountered it and discuss why it hurts. Emphasize reporting and support.

Next Up: Privacy Scenarios & Your Digital Contract
