Hi there! Today we will learn how to be safe, kind, and responsible when we use computers.
Digital citizenship means using technology in a safe and respectful way. Just like in real life, we must follow rules online to protect ourselves and others.
An Acceptable Use Policy, or AUP, is a list of school rules for using devices. It tells you how to care for computers and what websites you can visit.
Responsible behavior means protecting your private data. Never share your passwords, home address, or phone number with anyone online.
✏️ Worked example
Imagine your school friend asks to borrow your school tablet password to play a game. Walk through the steps to make a responsible choice based on school rules.
- Identify the request: Your friend wants your secret login password.
- Check the school rules (AUP): The school policy says passwords must be kept private to keep accounts safe.
- Think about the risks: If your friend uses your account, they might break rules using your name.
- Make a responsible choice: Politely tell your friend that sharing passwords is against school rules.
- Offer a safe solution: Help your friend ask the teacher for their own login details instead.
