Digital citizenship

Grade 5 · Coding · Free lesson

Hi there! I am Studyfin, your learning buddy. Let us learn how to be safe, kind, and responsible online!

When you use a computer or tablet, you enter the digital world. Being a good digital citizen means acting responsibly online, just like you do at school.

Your school has an Acceptable Use Policy, or AUP. This is a list of rules that keeps everyone safe. It tells you which websites are safe to visit and how to care for school tablets.

Follow School Tech Rules

We must also protect our personal information. Never share your full name, home address, or passwords online. Keep this information locked up tight like a secret treasure.

Keep Passwords Private
✏️ Worked example

Imagine you are playing an online learning game at school. Another player asks you for your school password so they can share a cool virtual pet with you. Let us figure out how to respond step by step.

  1. Identify the request: The other player is asking for your secret password.
  2. Check the school rules (AUP): The school policy says you must never share passwords with anyone.
  3. Evaluate the danger: If you share your password, someone else can log into your account and change your work.
  4. Make a responsible choice: Say 'No, I cannot share my password.'
  5. Tell a trusted adult: Report the event to your teacher or parent right away.
