Online Safety Basics Review

This review helps students practice the biggest ideas from Module 1: personal information, private information, safe usernames, trusted adults, warning signs, and safe next steps.

Review Goal

By the end of this review, students should be able to:

Explain what information should stay private.
Choose safer actions when websites, games, apps, or people ask for information.
Recognize safer and unsafe username choices.
Know when to pause and ask a trusted adult.

Safety Reminder

This review uses fake examples only.

Students should not type real passwords, real home addresses, real phone numbers, real school names, real usernames, or real family details into CyberShield activities. If anything online feels unsafe, students should ask a trusted adult for help.

What Module 1 covered

Module 1 introduced the first cyber safety habits elementary students should practice before clicking, sharing, replying, or making usernames online.

Lesson 1.1

Personal Information

Students learned that personal information means details about a person, and they should pause before sharing information online.

Lesson 1.2

Private Information

Students learned that addresses, phone numbers, passwords, school names, locations, and family details should be protected.

Lesson 1.3

Safe Usernames

Students learned that usernames should not reveal full names, schools, birthdays, locations, or password clues.

Lesson 1.4

Trusted Adults

Students learned to ask a parent, guardian, teacher, counselor, or school technology staff member when something online feels unsafe.

Vocabulary Review

Important words from Module 1

Personal information

Information about a person, such as a name, favorite activity, hobby, age, or other detail.

Private information

Information that should be protected, such as home address, phone number, password, school name, location, or family details.

Username

A name used on a website, game, app, or school tool instead of always showing a full real name.

Trusted adult

A grown-up who helps students stay safe, such as a parent, guardian, teacher, counselor, or school technology staff member.

Warning sign

Something that tells a student to pause and ask for help before clicking, replying, sharing, or continuing.

Oversharing

Sharing too many details online, especially details that strangers, games, popups, or unsafe websites do not need.

Review Questions

Choose the safer answer

Students can answer each question out loud, in a notebook, or during a classroom discussion.

Question 1

A website asks for your home address so you can win a prize. What should you do?

Safer answer

Do not type the address. Pause and ask a trusted adult because a home address is private information.

Question 2

Someone in an online game asks what school you go to. What should you do?

Safer answer

Do not share your school name. School information can reveal where you are during the day, so ask a trusted adult for help.

Question 3

Which username is safer: DragonCloud24 or Sophia_ElmStreetSchool?

Safer answer

DragonCloud24 is safer because it does not reveal a full name, school, or location clue.

Question 4

A message says, 'Do not tell your parents, but send me your password.' What should you do?

Safer answer

Do not reply or send the password. This is a warning sign. Tell a trusted adult right away.

Safe or Unsafe Review

Practice spotting safe choices.

These examples are fake and classroom safe. Students should use them to practice deciding what the safer choice is.

A student asks a teacher before clicking a strange link in a classroom tool.

Answer: Safer choice

Asking a trusted adult before clicking something suspicious is a smart cyber safety habit.

A student uses their full name, school name, and birthday in a username.

Answer: Unsafe choice

That username reveals identity and location clues that should stay private.

A student sees a scary popup and steps away from the device to tell a parent.

Answer: Safer choice

Students should not handle scary or suspicious online situations alone.

A student shares their game password with a friend who promises to help.

Answer: Unsafe choice

Passwords should stay private, even with friends.

Real-Life Safety Habit

Remember: pause, check, ask.

Pause before clicking, replying, sharing, or filling out forms.
Check whether a message, popup, username, or website asks for private information.
Ask a trusted adult when something feels strange, scary, urgent, secret, or unsafe.

Final Reflection

Think about your online safety plan.

Students can think about this question after finishing the review:

What is one online safety habit you will remember the next time you use a website, game, app, school tool, or device?

Final Checklist

Students are ready to finish Module 1 when they can say:

I can explain the difference between personal information and private information.
I can name details that should stay private online.
I can choose safer usernames that do not reveal private clues.
I can recognize warning signs like secrets, pressure, strange popups, and private questions.
I can pause before clicking, replying, sharing, or filling out forms.
I can ask a trusted adult when something online feels confusing, scary, urgent, secret, or unsafe.
I understand that CyberShield examples should use fake information only.

The next future Kids module will focus on passwords and accounts. For now, students can return to the Kids track, review the module, or practice more activities.

Cyber Safety Pledge
