Sharing is a separate decision

1 · Learn

Finishing a digital project does not automatically grant permission to publish it. Check who appears, what personal information is present, whether media may be reused and who should have access. A private classroom test can demonstrate learning without public exposure.

If contact or content is worrying, stop and ask a trusted adult for help. Do not reply with personal details or investigate a stranger alone. Keep respectful collaboration rules even when a message is anonymous or frustrating.

Key words and supplied examples.

2 · Worked example

A project contains a classmate's recording. I ask the responsible adult about consent and use an approved alternative if sharing is not permitted.

3 · Your turn

Does receiving an unexpected request for a private project mean you should send it?

Check your answer

No. Check the request and permissions with a trusted adult; do not share private material just because someone asks.

4 · Apply your learning

Review one project with a privacy and permissions checklist, using only fictional examples for any sensitive information.

Adult guidance and safety

Use a school-approved offline or supervised tool and fictional data. Keep work private, respect media permissions and check accessibility. Paper traces support understanding but do not replace running, saving and testing a real project. Do not enter passwords, addresses or other personal details into exercises.

Open your writing and drawing pad

Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.

Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.

Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.

Drawing is unavailable. Use the typed working area below.

Your pad is empty.

Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.

Typed notes are not submitted answers.

Check a calculation · Year 5 onward

Use this only when your teacher or adult allows a calculator for the task. Show your thinking first. It does not replace mental or written arithmetic and does not mark your lesson answer.
