Online safety basics and asking a trusted adult
Aligned to ISTE — CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards.
What this lesson teaches
When we use screens, some things should stay private, like your full name, your home address, and your passwords. Only use apps and sites a grown-up has said are okay. If anything online ever feels confusing, scary, or mean, tell a trusted adult right away. You are never in trouble for telling.
Worked example
If a game asks you to type your home address to keep playing, you stop and go find a grown-up. Private things stay private, and a trusted adult can help you decide what is safe.
Practice questions
- Name two private things you should not share online.
- What should you do if something on a screen feels scary?
- Who is a trusted adult you can go to for help?

Conceptos básicos de seguridad en línea y cómo pedir ayuda a un adulto de confianza
Cuando usamos pantallas, algunas cosas deben mantenerse privadas, como tu nombre completo, tu domicilio y tus contraseñas. Usa solo aplicaciones y sitios que un adulto haya aprobado. Si algo en línea te parece confuso, te da miedo o es grosero, díselo de inmediato a un adulto de confianza. Nunca te meterás en problemas por contarlo.
Ejemplo: Si un juego te pide que escribas tu domicilio para poder seguir jugando, detienes todo y vas a buscar a un adulto. Las cosas privadas se mantienen privadas, y un adulto de confianza puede ayudarte a decidir qué es seguro.
