Now check your answers and take some time to talk about the activity.
OK, show me my results
This is one thing I struggled with when going online. I just didn’t understand why those little dots on my screen could be guessed as anything. But there’s a lot that goes on behind screens.
That’s why it’s important not to use your name, birth day or year or anything that’s easy to guess (like ‘password’, for example) in your password. Which passwords here don’t use someone’s name?

Elan and her family are going on holiday! She is so excited but also a little worried because there will be NO WI-FI for the whole two weeks she’s there!
ELAN STAYS CONNECTED
Elan and her family are going on holiday! She is so excited but also a little worried because there will be NO WI-FI for the whole two weeks she’s there!
That means she’s got a bit of a dilemma: one of her mobile games has an ongoing contest to win a virtual reality gaming package. To win, users need to log in to play the game and share comments every day for 30 days. She’s already done 23 days!
Elan finds the game super addictive (she can’t stop now!) and she is SO CLOSE to winning, but this holiday is definitely going to ruin it if there is NO WI-FI!
Duha, a friend from school who also plays the game, offers to help out. They say they can login to Elan’s account for her to keep her streak going while she is away. But Elan would either need to share her username and password with Duha or sign in and save her password on Duha’s phone.
What should she do?
YOUR DECISION
Share her username and password
