It is important to stay safe online. One way to do this is by protecting our private information. People may try to gain access to our private information online by sending emails, text messages, or direct messages. They might also try to get us to enter our private information into an unsecure website.

Prompt students to think about their private information, which is information about themselves that can be used to identify them. Create a class anchor chart with examples of private information, such as their full name, birthdate, home address, phone number, or school name. After you create the chart, discuss the difference between sharing information about ourselves with trusted individuals versus strangers. For example, it may be safe to share your phone number with a classmate so that you can arrange a play date, but you wouldn't give your phone number to a stranger at the park. If you wouldn't share the information with someone you just met in real life, then you likely shouldn't share it online.

Private information is information about you that can be used to identify who you are because it is unique to you. Sharing your private information online can be dangerous. People may even be able to share your information with others without your consent, causing your damage to your digital identity that can spiral out of control, just like a tornado. Instruct students to color the squares beside "Private Information" in the key with the following sequence of colors: red, green, red, green. When Ozobot travels over this sequence of colors, it will stop and do a "tornado" to show how sharing its private information online can cause damage to its digital identity, just like a tornado can cause damage.

Personal information is information about you that cannot be used to identify who you are because it is also true for many other people, such as your hair color or eye color. Sharing your personal information with your trusted friends and family is okay as long as you have permission from your trusted adults. Instruct students to color the squares beside "Okay to Share" in the key with the following sequence of colors: green, black, green, black. When Ozobot travels over this sequence of colors, it will "cruise" through to show that sharing its personal information online won't slow it down and cause any problems.

Instruct students to look at each thing that Ozobot might share online with its trusted friends and family. Students will color the squares beside each item using the color codes in the key. They will also add their own ideas to the blank line and color the squares beneath it using the color codes in the key. Examples might include: hair color, eye color, email address, or favorite video game.

When students have completed the activity page, they will calibrate their Ozobots, power them on, and place them on "Start" to run their programs.
