Students will work in small groups to identify what types of information are safe to share online, promoting critical thinking about privacy. Following this, the teacher will demonstrate how to access and adjust privacy settings on a popular platform, highlighting key features that protect personal information.
In a hands-on activity, students will then navigate the platform themselves to practice adjusting their privacy settings. The lesson concludes with a reflective discussion, where students share insights and take home a handout summarizing safe online practices. Participation in discussions, successful completion of hands-on tasks, and exit tickets will be used for assessment. Adaptations and extensions are also included to support diverse learners and deepen understanding. Overall, the lesson aims to empower students with the skills and knowledge to use the internet safely and responsibly.
