• Define key terms related to cyber ethics and cyber safety.

Understanding the concept

This worksheet focuses on Cyber Ethics and Safety Basics, which are fundamental principles guiding responsible and safe conduct in the digital world. Cyber ethics refers to the moral guidelines that govern the use of computers, networks, and information. It helps us understand what is right and wrong when interacting online, much like how social etiquette guides our behavior in person. For example, 'netiquette' teaches us to be polite and respectful in emails and forums, avoiding cyberbullying and hate speech. Cyber safety, on the other hand, deals with the measures and precautions we take to protect ourselves and our data from harm online. This includes understanding the risks of sharing personal information, recognizing phishing scams (where someone tries to trick you into revealing sensitive data), and using strong, unique passwords. Copyright protects original creative works, meaning we can't just copy and paste someone else's content without permission, while plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own. Learning these concepts empowers students to be responsible digital citizens, safeguarding their own well-being and respecting others in the vast online landscape.

Tips for parents & teachers

• Encourage your child to discuss each question, explaining their reasoning rather than just providing an answer.
• Use real-life online scenarios your child might encounter to make the concepts more relatable.
• After completing the worksheet, engage in a 'digital detox' discussion about healthy screen time habits.
• Review the answers together, focusing on explaining any incorrect answers clearly and patiently.
• Consider extending the learning by finding and discussing current news articles related to cyber safety or ethics.
