I encourage you to be careful when you use Internet and I hope that this task will help you.
Introduction
Young people use the Internet in ways which risk their privacy. They do not realize that all their information can be tracked. They should know how they can protect themselves.
Help your classmates to understand how the information they share will put them in risk!
Task
After you read and watch some videos, you will produce a three-minute video about:
- Why is important to be careful with the information you share online
- What you have learned about online privacy
Process
You will get in groups of four and choose among the following key jobs:
1. Coordinator: would organize the group
2. Writer: would develop the script
3. Speakers: all would appear on the video, presenting the information
4. Designer: would find the appropriate sound effects or music.
After you organize your group, you can watch the following videos:
