Lesson 3: Privacy, Data and Social Media

Learning Intentions

Examine what digital citizenship is and how it relates to social media use.
Reflect on how data privacy could be used in ways that are unsafe or harmful.
Create a story idea involving data misuse.

Watch

Review the interview with script producer Jessica Paine to explore how privacy, data and social media were referenced in The PM’s Daughter Series 2.

Reflect

Through an individual writing task or class discussion, brainstorm why being critical and informed is important as digital citizens. Then, from your perspective and experience, document 3-5 pros (benefits) and 3-5 cons (downsides) of engaging with social media.

Activity

Respond to the following scenario: when data falls into the wrong hands. Consider how we may face harmful or unsafe situations when our private data is used without our knowledge or consent.

Then, in one sentence, propose an example of this idea applied to a scenario for a story: what (data) and who (wrong hands). For example, my internet browsing history (what / data) was leaked to an unethical company (who / wrong hands) without my consent.
