Privacy when collecting data means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes; Pencil. 1. Say the goal of Privacy when collecting data in plain words once. 2. Adult models one safe choice (strong password pattern or what not to share) and says why. 3. Child sorts three situations into safe / not-safe and gives a reason each time. 4. Fresh check: one fresh privacy choice with a reason. Record and stop. Done: three safe/not-safe sorts with a reason each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Review a draft class survey and remove questions that collect unnecessary personal data (e.g. full name, address)
- Write a short privacy note for a survey explaining what data is collected, why and who will see it, and ask for permission
- Explain how to keep survey results private (e.g. share only totals, store them in a protected folder)
“If your child made an online survey for their class, would they only ask for what they need, explain why, and keep people's answers private?”
