Privacy and Security

When we are constantly online, we may get wrapped up in the moment and not realize that we’re sharing way too much of our personal information. This can negatively impact our privacy and security. In this activity, students will review what is okay to post and what is not. 

Click on this video to watch Youth Speak Out facilitator William Desravines Jr. talk about the activity. You can find step-by-step instructions as well as discussion questions below.

Activity

1. Brainstorm information that you wouldn’t want a stranger to know about you, such as your home address, your personal phone number, or your live location. 
2. Using a notepad, divide the page into two sections: “okay to post” and “not okay to post.”
3. Decorate the list, so that it can hang comfortably in your space.
