Vocabulary Review

Important words from Module 2

Password

A secret word, phrase, or set of characters that helps protect an account.

Account

A place online where a person signs in to use a website, app, game, school tool, or device.

Sign in

To enter the correct account information so a website, app, or device knows who is using it.

Sign out

To close your account session so the next person using the device cannot open your account.

Shared device

A device used by more than one person, such as a classroom computer, library computer, family tablet, or school Chromebook.

Trusted adult

A safe adult who can help with account problems, such as a parent, guardian, teacher, counselor, or school technology staff member.

Review Questions

Choose the safer answer

Students can answer these questions out loud, in a notebook, or during a classroom discussion.

Question 1

Why is a password like a key?

Safer answer

A password is like a key because it helps open and protect an account. Students should not give that key to other people.

Question 2

A friend asks for your password so they can help you in a game. What should you do?

Safer answer

Do not share the password. Passwords are private, even with friends.

Question 3

You forget your school password. Should you keep guessing or ask for help?

Safer answer

Ask a teacher, parent, guardian, or school technology staff member for help.

Question 4

A shared library computer asks if it should save your password. What should you do?

Safer answer

Do not save the password. Ask a trusted adult because shared devices should not remember private passwords.

Safe or Unsafe Review

Practice spotting safer account choices.

These examples are fake and classroom safe. Students should use them to practice password and account safety.

A student signs out of a classroom computer before leaving.

Answer: Safer choice

Signing out can help stop the next person from opening the account.

A student gives their account password to a friend who promises to help.

Answer: Unsafe choice

Passwords should stay private, even when someone says they want to help.

A student sees a strange sign-in page and asks a parent before typing anything.

Answer: Safer choice

Asking a trusted adult before typing a password into a strange page is a smart safety habit.

A student uses another student's account because they forgot their own password.

Answer: Unsafe choice

Students should not use someone else's account. They should ask a trusted adult for help.

Real-Life Safety Habit

Remember: protect, pause, ask.

Protect passwords by keeping them private.
Pause before typing passwords into strange pages, popups, or messages.
Ask a trusted adult when an account problem feels confusing, strange, or unsafe.

Module 2 Rules

Account safety reminders

Keep passwords private.
Use fake examples only during practice.
Ask before creating new accounts.
Ask for help when locked out.
Do not use someone else's account.
Sign out of shared devices.
