Safer networks and digital wellbeing
Self-protection combines understanding a situation, preventing harm, seeking help and recovering work. You will choose measures by function and communicate them through fictional cases that others can solve.
Your mission
Prepare a digital self-protection campaign with an infographic, a phishing or harassment protocol, a configured simulated profile, a file-recovery demonstration and a wellbeing guideline. Address two fictional incidents, document sources and licences and distribute the kit in the school’s restricted space.

Read the explanation, study the diagram and try the activity in each section. You can choose another version at any time.
Your tools
Use Google Docs for written explanations and diagrams.net for diagrams. Save the editable file as well as the evidence requested in each task.
6.1. Active protection and recovery
Learn · theory and practice
A device uses a network to connect to services that store or exchange information. Along that route, protecting the equipment, connection and account requires related but different decisions. Security aims to prevent improper access, unauthorised changes and loss of availability. Privacy concerns which data are collected, for what purpose and who may know them. An account with protected access can still publish excessive information. Identifying the asset to preserve and the possible incident clarifies the problem each measure must address.
Prevention reduces opportunities for harm before an incident occurs. Updating, limiting permissions and using unique credentials serve active-protection purposes. Additional authentication, when available, adds another identity check. A second factor combines different categories: entering two passwords still supplies two items of the same kind. Such measures can make improper access harder, but do not by themselves explain how to resume work after losing a file.
Recovery addresses that need through restorable backups and planned procedures. A private folder can also be lost, so controlling access and preserving a recoverable version are complementary decisions. Categories may overlap; understanding function and limitation is more useful than memorising a classification. In class, fictional profiles and files allow these relationships to be studied without requesting real passwords or personal accounts of incidents. The campaign connects each measure to a specific risk and a proportionate check of what it achieves.
- Asset
- Possible incident
- Relevant measure
- Check
- Recognised limitation
A folder allows only the team to edit, but its only file becomes damaged. Permissions addressed changes by outsiders, not recovery. Another folder has a backup yet exposes unnecessary data to anyone with the link. These cases show why a single ‘safe’ label does not explain which problem each measure addresses or what remains uncovered.
- In Google Docs, identify three fictional-project assets and an incident for each.
- In diagrams.net, connect each incident with prevention, response or recovery.
- In Google Docs, explain a security/privacy distinction and a check for every measure.
Why does protecting account access not replace a recoverable backup?
6.2. Examine a suspicious message without following it
Learn · theory and practice
Phishing uses impersonation to obtain data, money or a harmful action through deception. Messages may use urgency, prizes or threats. Display names, logos and polished appearance do not prove who sent them. Link text does not guarantee its destination either. Such signs justify pausing and verifying, but none alone determines every message’s truth. Independent checking uses an already known address or the organisation’s usual channel.
The protocol asks what happened. If merely received, do not interact or forward the link for others to try; consult a trusted person. If passwords or codes were provided, seek help recovering the account through its official route and reviewing credentials and sessions with the responsible person. If a file was run, stop using the practice device and notify technical staff. Preserve relevant information to explain the case without spreading it to the group. Deleting the message does not revoke submitted data. Support the person reporting it without blame or ridicule.
- Message
- Pause
- What happened
- Independent verification
- Response and support
A fictional message threatens loss of work unless a code is provided. The person knows the usual classroom-platform address and can ask the teacher through the class channel. That check breaks dependence on the suspicious message. Replying ‘is it really you?’ still addresses whoever controls it. The example identifies verification without opening dangerous destinations.

- In Google Docs, compare three fictional messages: account urgency, unexpected prize and verifiable internal notice.
- In diagrams.net, draw branches for received only, data provided and file executed.
- In Google Docs, write a supportive response and identify each branch’s independent channel and responsible person.
How does the response change if the code has already been provided?
6.3. Audience, permissions and shared data
Learn · theory and practice
Audience means the people able to access a post or file. A profile may distinguish everyone, contacts and a group. Reader permission allows viewing; editor permission allows changing content. Review profiles and folders separately because their settings may be independent. Restricting visibility reduces initial exposure, but an authorised person might copy content. Therefore also choose what information to include even when sharing with few people.
App permissions should match a necessary function. Access to contacts, location or camera is not accepted merely because a request appears. Ask what it serves and whether the function justifies the requested data; denying permission may limit a legitimate function. Distinguish stopping collection from hiding already collected data from others. In the fictional profile, review posts, location, tags, contacts and apps. Record previous situation, adjustment, reason and limitation. Settings must allow the intended audience, including the teacher, to view: blocking all reading also fails the need for proportionate project sharing.
- Intended function
- Necessary data
- Permissions and audience
- Access test
- Remaining exposure
A fictional torch app requests contacts while a project submission is open to anyone with the link. These concern different decisions: collection necessity and file audience. Rejecting contacts does not change shared-folder access. The team records both settings and checks reading from the intended role, demonstrating concrete adjustments instead of broadly claiming ‘the profile is private now’.

The video keeps its original spoken language. Use the captions available in the player if they help.
- In Google Docs, audit the fictional profile’s visible data, audience, location and app permissions.
- In the teacher-prepared profile simulator, apply adjustments and record before, after, reason and limit.
- In the authorised school space, check draft reader access and absence of unnecessary information with the teacher.
Why does restricting a post differ from stopping location collection?
6.4. Backups that restore your ability to work
Learn · theory and practice
A backup preserves information for recovery after an incident. Its usefulness depends on the content it holds, the version it represents, where it is kept and whether it can be restored. Two files on the same drive may help with an editing mistake, but share the risk of losing the whole device. The destination’s independence is assessed against the chosen incident. Different filenames are insufficient if both files would disappear for the same reason.
Synchronisation serves a different purpose: it maintains changes across locations and can also propagate deletion. Seeing information in two places therefore does not demonstrate that an earlier version is recoverable. A checked version history or recovery procedure establishes which versions remain available. Backup timing also matters: an old version may restore earlier work, but not changes made afterwards. Backup frequency and the retained version help explain which recent work might be lost.
The classroom demonstration makes that distinction observable using a fictional file. A recognisable version is kept in the authorised destination, the working version is modified and the backup is restored into another folder, without deleting other people’s originals. Opening the contents checks the version; finding the expected filename is insufficient. The record connects source, backup, restoration and recent changes that might be missing. With this evidence, the campaign can explain what to copy, where, when and how to check recovery, so another person can carry out and evaluate the procedure.
- Identified version
- Destination backup
- Working change
- Restoration
- Checked contents
A team backs up text marked ‘trial A’ and changes the working file to ‘trial B’. Restoration produces the expected filename, but opening shows B: the wrong version was copied. Checking content reveals the fault. The record supports correcting the procedure without deleting real work or claiming two file icons guarantee valid recovery.
- Create a fictional Google Docs document with a recognisable version and preserve it in the authorised school destination.
- Modify the working version and restore the previous one elsewhere using the available tool.
- In Google Docs, record locations, recovered content, storage limitation and the kit’s backup procedure.
What does restoring on the same drive demonstrate, and which risk remains uncovered?
6.5. Digital coexistence and the attention economy
Learn · theory and practice
Attention is limited and platforms compete for it. Recommendations may use usage signals to order content; YouTube, for example, documents history, ratings and other feedback. This selection proves neither truth nor representativeness of everyone. Profiling builds a representation from data and signals rather than a complete description of a person. Virality means rapid, broad spread, which can carry useful information or harm. A concrete wellbeing guideline reduces interruptions or determines when to check notifications.
Ralph Breaks the Internet supports observing recommendations, comments and exposure without treating its settings as literal network architecture. Within the ten sessions, AV01 uses 0.25 for preparation, 2.25 for authorised viewing or a coherent selection, and 1 for comparison and transfer. Description and guided reading provide an alternative without viewing homework. Record three observations, check one claim and write three kit recommendations. For harassment, support without blame, preserve relevant evidence with help and use reporting and blocking without spreading the harm. Seek a trusted person and school support.
- Usage signals
- Prioritised content
- Exposure and attention
- Usage or support decision
A recommended video attracts comments and a fictional character interprets them as approval from everyone. The team separates visibility, commenters’ opinions and factual truth. The campaign proposes pausing before sharing and checking a source. Targeted ridicule calls for a different response: support and help rather than increasing circulation to ‘defend’ someone.

Watch in short sections. Connect one explanation with the diagram and try the example in this section. The written theory lets you complete the activity without playing the video.
The video keeps its original spoken language. Use the captions available in the player if they help.
- In Google Docs, record three observations from Ralph Breaks the Internet or its written alternative and check one claim against a primary source.
- In Google Docs, write three recommendations and a reversible attention guideline for a fictional task without measuring classmates’ personal habits.
- In diagrams.net, order support, relevant evidence, reporting and blocking for a fictional harassment case.
Why does a popular recommendation not prove truth, and why can forwarding ridicule increase harm?
6.6. A campaign that teaches action
Learn · theory and practice
An educational campaign helps people recognise a situation and choose an action. A slogan attracts attention but needs instructions. The infographic summarises; the protocol orders decisions; the profile demonstrates settings; recovery shows a file reopening; the wellbeing guideline applies a decision to a task. Each piece has a different function. Define audience and vocabulary and provide textual explanations of diagrams so content does not depend only on arrows, colour or images.
A useful message states what to do, how and whom to approach. Distinguish prevention and response in at least two fictional incidents, such as fraud and harassment. The recipient need not solve everything alone. Record sources supporting guidance and, separately, creators, licences and changes for visual resources. Citation does not authorise reproducing an illustration. Share with a restricted audience and check reading with another pair. Ask what they would do in a new case without initial hints. If they remember the slogan but cannot choose an action, revise an instruction and repeat to evaluate improvement.
- Audience
- Concrete instruction
- New case
- Explained decision
- Kit revision
A poster says ‘Don’t fall for it’, but readers do not know how to respond to an urgent request. The team adds ‘open the service through its known address and ask the teacher through the usual channel’. A new fictional case checks whether readers identify that route. Improvement is tested through an explained decision rather than a more attractive poster.
- In Google Docs, organise protocol, demonstrations and guideline with textual diagram explanations.
- In Google Slides, design an infographic with actions, sources and compatibly licensed resources.
- Test the kit with another pair and record a new-case decision and retested improvement in Google Docs.
Which observation shows that the audience can act rather than merely remember a slogan?
6.7. Laboratory, project and two assignments
Learn · theory and practice
The laboratory combines different evidence without confusing it. A profile screenshot demonstrates a setting, not audience understanding of a protocol. A restored file demonstrates a specific recovery, not protection from every loss. The test table states risk studied, expected action, observation and limitation. A combined case may include an open link, submitted code and old backup: separate the problems to choose relevant responses rather than one recommendation for everything.
A01 brings together audience, message plan, protocol, guideline and licensed resources. It also includes already applied fictional-profile settings, a recovery micro-test and verified reader access to the draft. A02 presents the complete kit, two resolved incidents, demonstrations and an understanding improvement. Each partner justifies a preventive measure and response through a source and observation. Practice and film analysis contribute to those two assignments. On sharing, verify files open, intended readers can access them and sources and credits correspond to the materials actually distributed.
- Kit components
- Function-specific tests
- Results and limits
- Reviewed access
- Integrated submission
The kit has a recovered backup and clear protocol, but its final folder lets the whole group edit. Recovery does not demonstrate appropriate permission distribution. The team reviews access and repeats a reader consultation, adding evidence while keeping the restoration test for its different function. Integration checks pieces and relationships rather than merely collecting them.
- In Google Docs, connect each kit component with a test and its limitation.
- In diagrams.net, separate responses to a combined exposure, fraud and loss case.
- In restricted storage, check opening and reader role and record an individual justification in Google Docs.
Which different evidence supports recovery, appropriate permissions and understanding?
6.8. Explore further at your own pace
Learn · theory and practice
Primary sources verify a guideline and its scope. INCIBE explains fraud and coexistence; AEPD and INCIBE connect privacy, accounts and backups. A platform’s documentation describes its own recommendation system rather than every service. Identify authorship, date, context and answered question before transferring an explanation. An old guide’s menu may preserve the principle of limiting audience without retaining identical button names. The simulator studies that decision without personal accounts.
Information sources and illustration licences are separate matters. You can write an original checked explanation and link the reference without copying its design or images. For included resources, review exact permission, creator and changes. Optional videos allow pauses and written support; the kit must also make sense without playback. Adapting for younger students preserves decisions and help routes with clearer vocabulary. Check understanding through a new case without claiming certification. Finish by explaining a justified guideline, a test that changed your proposal and a future review based on observations.
- Source and context
- Checked guidance
- Adapted language
- New case
- Checked understanding
A guide shows a privacy menu unlike the classroom simulator. The team identifies the shared decision: who can read and who can contact. It adapts steps to the available environment and tests intended access. The source is cited for guidance without presenting its screenshots as current. This preserves learning and precisely states the verified configuration.
- Consult a primary security source and a privacy or coexistence source for a specific kit question.
- In Google Docs, record guidance, scope, consultation date and permissions for included resources.
- Adapt a message for younger students in Google Slides and check with another pair that action and support route remain.
What must remain when simplifying a safety instruction’s language?
