Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

My name is Mrs. Jenkins.

Welcome to today's lesson.

Today's lesson is called Personal Information Online, and it is taken from the unit, the digital discovery squad.

Let's get started.

In today's lesson, our learning outcome is, I can sort personal and non-personal information and explain why it should be kept private.

In our lesson today, we have three keywords.

Those keywords are online, personal information, and private.

It's really important we know what these words mean before we get started, as they will appear throughout the lesson.

Online is connected to or using the internet.

Personal information is information that shows who a person is, such as their name or address.

Private is something not meant to be shared with everyone.

So those three words are online, personal information, and private.

Keep an eye out for them as we move through today's lesson.

In today's lesson, Personal Information Online, we have two learning cycles.

Sort personal and non-personal information, and explain why some information should remain private.

We're going to begin with sort personal and non-personal information.

In today's lesson, you are going to join the digital discovery squad.

Your squad member is going to learn how to stay safe online.

Before we get started in today's lesson, draw a simple character for your squad member in your log book.

Pause the video here to have a go.

How did you all get on?

Hopefully, when you paused the video, you were able to draw a simple character for your squad member in your logbook.

Personal information is information that can identify a person.

It could help someone find out who you are.

Some information describes a person.

Some information can identify a person.

Jacob says, "It's about me, but it does not show who I am.

" That's right, it describes you, but it doesn't tell us who you are.

These are not always the same.

Okay, let's have a little check now.

Which example is personal information?

a, favorite color, b, full name and school, or c, favorite place to visit?

What do you think?

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked, which example is personal information?

a, favorite color, b, full name and school, or c, your favorite place to visit?

The answer is your full name and school.

Your full name and school is personal information.

Great job, everyone.

A single piece of information may not identify someone, but pieces of information together can.

Laura says, "If you know my first name and my town, you might be able to find out who I am.

" That's right, Laura, because personal information can link together, which builds a bigger picture.

Okay, let's have another little check-in here.

True or false?

A hobby is personal information.

What do you think?

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you, true or false?

A hobby is personal information.

The answer is false.

The reason why, a hobby describes what someone likes.

It does not identify who they are on its own.

Great job, everyone.

When you are deciding whether something is personal information, ask yourself, "Could this information help identify a person?

" That's right, Andeep.

Sometimes, something like your favorite color, that won't tell me who someone is, but your full name might.

Okay, we're going to move on to task A now.

Using the table on the following slide, choose whether each piece of information is personal or non-personal.

Tick one box per row.

So here is our table.

We have got information and the information we have, full name, favorite food, school name, favorite place, online username, favorite animal, home address, phone number, and first name.

You need to decide whether each of these pieces of information are personal information or non-personal information.

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you to go through our list of information and decide whether each thing is personal information or non-personal information.

So we had full name, favorite food, school name, favorite place, online username, favorite animal, home address, phone number, and first name.

Let's have a look at the answers.

Your full name is personal information.

Your favorite food is non-personal information.

Your school name is personal information.

Your favorite place is non-personal information.

Your online username is non-personal information, unless you use your full name.

Your favorite animal is non-personal information.

Your home address is personal information.

Your phone number is personal information.

And your first name is non-personal information.

Great job, everyone.

We are going to move on to learning cycle two.

Explain why some information should remain private.

Some personal information should be kept private.

Private means it is not meant to be shared with everyone.

When information is shared online, it can be copied and shared again.

You cannot always control who sees it.

We have a little example here that if Jun shares something with Sam, Sam could then share it with Izzy, Alex, and Sophia, and more, and they could also share it again and again.

So once it is shared, you cannot control who sees it.

Not everyone online is known to you.

You may not know who is seeing the information.

Jun says, "I don't always know who is looking at my post.

" That's right, Jun.

It's difficult to know.

Okay, let's have a little check-in.

Why should your home address be kept private?

a, it makes your online profile look better, b, if you share it online, strangers could find out where you live, or c, it shows your favorite place?

What do you think?

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked, why should your home address be kept private?

a, it makes your online profile look better, b, if you share it online, strangers could find out where you live, or c, it shows your favorite place?

The answer is b.

Your home address should be kept private because if you share it online, strangers could find out where you live.

Great job.

If information identifies you, it could help someone contact you or find out who you are.

That is why some information must remain private.

Okay, let's have a little check-in here.

True or false?

If information is true, it is safe to share online.

What do you think?

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked, true or false?

If information is true, it is safe to share online.

The answer is false, and the reason why, information can be true and still unsafe to share online.

If it helps someone identify or contact you, then it should be kept private.

Great job, everyone.

We are going to move on to task B now.

I would like you to read each example and explain whether you think it should be kept private.

So the examples we have, number one.

Sam posts her full name and school on a gaming site.

Number two, Aisha shares her favorite color in a comment.

And number three, Jim posts his home address in a public chat.

Have a go.

How did you get on?

I asked you to read each example and explain whether you think it should be kept private.

Number one, Sam posts her full name and school on a gaming site.

Number two, Aisha shares her favorite color in a comment.

And number three, Jim posts his home address in a public chat.

Personal information should remain private if it can identify you or help someone contact or find you.

Izzy says, "Sam's full name and school name should be kept private because it could identify her.

" Andeep says, "Aisha's favorite color does not identify her so it doesn't have to be kept private.

" That's right, Andeep.

Jacob says, "Jim should keep his home address private because it shows exactly where he lives.

" That's right.

Well done, Izzy, Jacob, and Andy, and well done all of you.

Great job.

Your digital discovery squad member has earned their first badge.

You can now identify personal information and keep it private.

Add your privacy shield badge and your character's rule to your log book.

Great job, everyone.

You've worked really hard in today's lesson.

Let's summarize what we have learned.

Personal information can identify a person.

Not all information about someone identifies them.

When personal information is shared online, you may not control who sees it.

Some personal information should remain private, even if it is true.

Well done everyone.

You've worked really hard today.

I hope to learn with you again soon.
