My (real) identity

Hungarian team designed a good practice called "My (real) identity" whose objectives are:

• To teach students their identities.
• To remind students about creating truthful identities.
• To compare online and real identities.

Firstly we watched the following videos of YouTube: Pilar y su celular historias para contar.

We watched the first four videos and encourage our students and blog readers to subscribe to the Pantallas Amigas channel.

After watching the videos we reflected on the following questions:

What do you understand?

Our students said that:

• The mobile phone has good things as well as bad things (distractions).
• We must make good use of technology.
• Before installing an application we must check the permissions.
• We should not give out personal data on the web.
• Thinking before you act.
• Asking an adult to help you install applications.
• Be careful with the photos or videos we upload.

Do you know all these things?

Our students discussed the following topics:

• We have to be careful when we use technology on the street.
• Some apps are unsafe.
• We cannot publish certain photos.
• Excessive use of the cell phone drains its battery.

Which is the most shocking details?

• Fingerprints.
• An application can access very important information from our devices.
• An excessive use of mobile phones can cause us to forget important details about our surroundings (friends).
• Be careful with the pictures we take.

Do you recognize yourself in any part of these videos?

• When we're hooked and we don't know what's going on around us.
• Grant permission for applications.
• When we give out personal data without thinking about the consequences.
• When we install applications that access our personal data, etc.

After these reflections we divided into small groups and the teachers gave us pictures of different people.

The students had to decide which characteristics defined each of these people.

The final product consisted of a description and oral presentation of each character presented below.

We share the presentation containing the good practice so that it can be used by other teachers and students.
