Do you remember the Internet classic, "On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog." This is a popular Internet meme that shows a dog typing on the computer, meaning that you never know who is at the other end of the message you are receiving. In the lesson I wrote for EconEdLink students learn about Little Red Riding Hood's granddaughter: Red. Red has a problem. She isn't aware of risky online behaviors. She learns Stop, Think, Connect . In other words, she learns how to stop and think about the risks of sharing information before making a decision to share information or connect online.
What are some things you should consider before connecting? Did you know that when you are on social media and take a quiz line "Which-Harry-Potter-character-are-you" you are sharing PII (Personally Identifiable Information)? When you give out any information online, there is a risk that you are giving away your privacy and making yourself vulnerable to predators. After using some of the materials in the lesson, have children create their own posters, videos, or memes with information about how to protect against the Big Bad Cyberwolf! Comments are closed.
