ONLINE PRIVACY

Knowing what information is safe to share, and what is not, is one of the great challenges of the digital age. While sharing some personal information is a necessary part of living life online, sharing too much information can damage your reputation or impact your online security. This is important for both kids and adults to understand. Check out one of our videos from our Digital On-Ramps curriculum for 4th and 5th graders that addresses this topic!​
