My password is mine

Students learn that a password (or login card or picture password) is a secret that keeps their school account safe, sort things that are OK to share from things to keep private, name the trusted grown-ups who may help with a password, and practice saying "I need help" out loud.

Stop, Think, Ask

Students learn a three-step signal for surprises on a screen: Stop (hands off), Think (is it asking me for something, is it from someone I know, how does my body feel) and Ask (show a trusted grown-up). They act out pop-ups, "You won" messages, strangers in game chat and scary pictures, then sort screens into OK to keep playing and Stop and ask.
