2. All the information you post online stays there FOREVER.
All the information you post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, stays online FOREVER. Even if you delete it. Once you post, it stays online forever. Even if you think you deleted it is still there.
What does this mean? That ANYONE could have access to the personal information you post online. Someone could take a screenshot, save it and share it with the rest of the world.
That is why it’s important to PAUSE before you POST.
Engage the kids, ask them what information should never be posted online.

3. What is Personal Information?
POSTING
What is Personal Information?
Full Name
Age
Address
Gender
Phone Number
Plans or Location
Passwords
What personal information you should NEVER post online?
Full Name – First and Last
Address – any home, place you go, or school
Phone Number or cell number
Password – your login and secret codes (You shouldn’t share this with your friends either, only with your parent or guardian).
Age – how old you are
Gender – are you boy or girl
Plans or Location – where you are going to be, who you are going with, when you’re doing something, what you are going to be doing.
Why should we keep this private? This information could be seen by ANYONE, they could find where you live and show up uninvited. All this information is PERSONAL and should STAY PRIVATE.

4. SET TO PRIVATE
It is okay to post about your interests on social media, but you want to be CAREFUL.
Ask the class to raise their hands if their social media accounts are set to private.
Many will have it set to public in order to increase their following and “appear” to be more popular/liked. Explain that safety comes before popularity.
Suggestion: assign as homework to set their accounts to private with their parents or siblings’ help
