This lesson meets standards for Common Core ELA, CASEL, AASL and ISTE.

It's in our students' nature to share and connect with others. But sharing online comes with some risks. How can we help kids build strong, positive, and safe relationships online? Help your students learn the difference between what's personal and what's best left private.

Students will be able to:
  • Identify the reasons why people share information about themselves online.
  • Explain the difference between private and personal information.
  • Explain why it is risky to share private information online.
