Answer Key

Questions to ask before sharing

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Does it show personal information about me or others?

A — Anyone in the chat could copy it or pass it on

B — Who will be able to see this?

B — A drawing you made of your favourite animal

A — Someone may have already copied it, so think before posting

Section B: Match the Pairs

Is it personal? → Check if the post shows private details like your full name, address, school or phone number.

Who can see it? → Find out if only friends can see your post or if strangers and the whole world can see it too.

Someone can save a screenshot of your post and send it to other people, even if you delete it. → Could it be copied or passed on?

If you would not want your teacher, family and strangers all to see a photo, you should not post it. → Would I be happy for everyone to see it?

Post: "I'm home alone at 12 Gum Street! Come see my new bike!" → This shares personal information, your home address and that you are alone, without asking 'Is it personal?' first.

"It's just a private chat, so my friend can't pass my photo on." → This forgets that a friend can copy, screenshot or forward a photo to other people.

Section C: Definitions

Think before you share — Before posting, ask: is it personal, who will see it, and could someone copy or pass it on? If you would not want everyone to see it, do not share it.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

isPersonal ← true
IF isPersonal THEN
  share ← false

IF NOT happyForAll THEN
  share ← false

IF canBeCopied OR canBePassedOn THEN
  thinkFirst()

IF isPersonal = true THEN share ← false
ELSE askWhoCanSee()

IF isPersonal = true THEN
  share ← false

Section E: Spot the Error

B — A photo showing your address has personal information in it, so personal should be true. Asking 'is it personal?' is the first question to ask before sharing.

D — If it is personal and anyone online can see it, you should not share it. It should say share ← false.

B — Anything you post can be copied, saved or screenshotted by others, so copied should be true. That is why you ask your friend first.

C — The third question should be about whether the post could be copied or passed on. Lunch has nothing to do with staying safe before sharing.

D — If you would not be happy for everyone to see it, the else branch must be share ← false. Sharing anyway ignores the check.
