Protecting personal information online is the focus of this Grade 5 Computer Science worksheet on Digital Citizenship. Students learn what personal information is, why certain details should remain private, how to decide what is safe to share online, and how secure passwords and safer choices can reduce the risk of scams and unwanted contact. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Teach practical online privacy decisions

This resource moves digital safety beyond a simple rule such as “do not share personal information.” Students consider where information might appear online, including messages, profiles, and forms, and decide which details are appropriate to share in those situations. This helps them connect online privacy concepts with choices they may encounter when using digital services.

Students also examine why strong, secure passwords matter for protecting accounts. The lesson reinforces the idea that personal information and account access need active protection rather than relying only on a website or app to keep them safe.

Recognize risks and safer responses

Another important part of the worksheet is identifying strategies that can reduce exposure to scams and unwanted contact. Students apply their understanding of privacy and online safety to situations where sharing the wrong information could increase risk. This supports responsible decision-making within a Grade 5 digital citizenship lesson.

Multiple ways to demonstrate understanding

Students work through multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer questions, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} These formats give learners opportunities to recognize safe and unsafe choices, explain why information should remain private, interpret online situations, and communicate their reasoning.
