Privacy and data use in AI tools are the focus of this Grade 6 Computer Science worksheet, helping students understand what information digital tools may collect and why consent matters when using AI-powered apps. Students define privacy, data, collection, and consent, identify responsible choices when sharing information, and evaluate situations by considering what data may be gathered and how it could be used. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Connect AI use with everyday privacy decisions

The lesson gives students a practical way to think about information sharing. Instead of treating privacy as an abstract rule, students examine how data can be provided directly to a digital tool or collected while a person uses it. They also consider why permission and informed choices are important before sharing information with apps and AI systems.

This makes the resource useful for introducing responsible AI use because students learn to pause and think about what information a tool may receive before deciding whether sharing it is appropriate.

Build vocabulary and decision-making skills together

Students use data-use vocabulary in context and apply it through multiple-choice questions, true-false statements, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching activity, cloze passage, labeled diagram, reading passage, and essay task. These formats give students opportunities to identify examples of data collection, explain privacy choices, interpret situations, and justify why consent is important. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Teacher guidance included

A separate teacher guide PDF accompanies the worksheet and includes learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes. This support can help structure classroom conversations about personal data, app permissions, responsible information sharing, and consent when students use digital or AI-powered tools. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Flexible use in AI and digital citizenship lessons

Use this worksheet after introducing artificial intelligence, during a privacy or digital citizenship lesson, as independent practice, homework, review, or as part of a broader unit on responsible technology use. It is particularly useful when students need to move beyond simply knowing that privacy matters and begin evaluating what information may be collected in a specific situation.

For teachers covering AI privacy, data collection, consent, digital safety, responsible technology use, or personal information, this resource provides focused practice with the decisions students need to make when using AI tools safely and thoughtfully.
