Data that is about me
Identify some data that is personal and belongs to them — their name, age, birthday, address, photos and videos of themselves, voice recordings and drawings — and know to ask a trusted adult before sharing it
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Data that is about me means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes
- Pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Sharing a school photo location publicly is not safe — it shows where you are.
Optional challenge. For Data that is about me, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Data that is about me, not mastery.

Data that is about me 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 Data that is about me 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
- Sort picture cards into 'about me' (name, birthday, address, a photo of me) and 'not about me' (the weather, a picture of a tree)
- Name two things they made that belong to them (e.g. a drawing or a voice recording on a tablet)
- Say who they ask before sharing their name or photo on a device (a trusted adult)
“Does your child know that their name, birthday, address and photos are their own information — and that they should ask you before sharing them in a tablet game?”
