Privacy Rules

In continuing to study e-safety, we are looking at the best ways to keep our privacy safe, as it is important to understand that websites can use your data to make money and target their advertising.

This week, I want you to look at the following conversation and accompanying questions.

Using the communication and collaboration skills, we learnt about last week, you can post a comment and respond to others, explaining the consequences of sharing too much about yourself online (to ensure we participate in social media responsibly).
