Privacy Scavenger Hunt
Have students access the student chapter Privacy Pursuit, display it on a screen or digital whiteboard, or distribute the booklet.
Start by displaying or distributing page three and reading the instructions to the class.
Have students individually complete the steps one and two of the “Scavenger Hunt” activity by listing internet-connected devices in their homes. When most of the students have finished (this should take just a few minutes) have them share with the class and make a class list.
Make sure to include:
- Tablets
- Phones
- Computers
- Smart speakers (e.g. Alexa)
- Smart TVs (TVs that can connect to services like Netflix without a separate app or
device) or other appliances (e.g. smart thermostats or refrigerators) - Smart toys (e.g. Mario Kart Live, Cloud Pets)
- Video doorbells
Ask students if they have done an activity like this before, in class or elsewhere. If so, ask them what things are on this list that were not last time, and which ones they put on the list before but did not include this time.
