Personal information and online privacy are the focus of this Grade 6 Computer Science worksheet, giving students practical digital citizenship practice with decisions about what information should remain private and what may be appropriate to share publicly. Students identify examples of personal information, explain why sharing certain details online can create risks, and make safer choices for profiles, forms, and messages. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Build better privacy decision-making

This resource moves beyond simply telling students to keep information private. Students classify information as private or public and consider how those categories affect everyday online choices. They also use the vocabulary personal information, private, public, and secure in context, helping them connect key digital citizenship terms with real online behavior.

A real-life scenario asks students to apply privacy rules and justify their choice. This provides an opportunity to see whether students can use what they know when faced with a practical situation rather than only recall definitions.

Practice through several response formats

Students demonstrate their understanding 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 support vocabulary recognition, classification, reading comprehension, visual interpretation, explanation, and extended reasoning while keeping the content centered on personal information and privacy. :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. It can support lesson preparation, classroom discussion, and clarification of misconceptions about what information is safe to share online. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Use it in a digital citizenship lesson

This worksheet can be used after direct instruction, as independent practice, for homework, review, or within a broader unit on digital citizenship and online safety. The focus on profiles, forms, messages, private information, and public information makes the content easy to connect to situations students may encounter when using websites and online services.

For teachers covering online privacy, personal information, internet safety, digital citizenship, or secure online behavior, this resource provides focused practice with specific choices students need to reason through. It helps reveal whether students can identify sensitive information, classify what should remain private, and justify a safer privacy decision.
