Overview

**Question of the Day: How can you make sure that your private information stays private?** This lesson takes a step back from creating websites to talk about the personal information that people choose to share digitally. The class begins by discussing what types of information they have shared on various websites, then they look at several sample social media pages to see what types of personal information could be shared intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, the class comes up with a set of guidelines to follow when putting information online.
