Education

Data Privacy Day’s education effort provides an opportunity for teachers and privacy professionals in the participating countries to generate classroom discussions with teens and young adults about the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information online and in mobile contexts.
On our Teens page, you will find prepared educational presentations and scripts that you may download and use in junior high and high school classrooms to raise privacy issues of interest and importance to teenagers. The Young Adults page offers prepared presentations regarding privacy designed for older teens, college and graduate students. Both the Teens and Young Adults pages also offer a variety of online resources, videos, and articles that could be used for personal education or in lieu of prepared materials to generate classroom discussions.
The Parents and Kids page compiles a number of online resources and videos designed for parents and younger children. Although kids under 13 are generally prohibited from creating profiles on most social networking sites, children are often avid users of the internet. The materials on this page help parents understand the information they need to give their children so children can begin using good privacy practices as they navigate online games, surf the web, and do homework.
If you have helpful resources that are not already listed on this page, please let us know about them. Email info@dataprivacyday.org
Take part in Data Privacy Day!! If you are a teacher or a privacy professional, please take the opportunity on or around January 28, 2010, to talk with some students about data privacy. If you are a parent, please share these materials and this webpage with your child and with your child’s school. Help spread the word about good privacy practices.
