Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Our personal information is sensitive and important.
  2. Small bits of personal information can give away sensitive details of our lives.
  3. Personal information includes images and videos of our faces.
  4. We should not share personal information online.

Keywords

  • Information - facts about something or someone

  • Personal - something about us that is sensitive and private

  • Private - things about you that only the people you trust should know

  • Sensitive - delicate and important

Common misconception

It is ok to give away small bits of personal information.

Even tiny details can be added together to build a 'jigsaw' of our lives. For example, a school uniform, favourite football team and street name could be pieced together to work out our location.
