A Barefoot lesson that focuses on the subject of ownership, permissions and the use of digital resources, which are the basics of the ethical use of computers, including data literacy and cyber security.

The activity focuses on the use of familiar real life objects by introducing three key questions:

  • Who owns this?
  • Has the owner allowed/ given permission for someone else to use it?
  • What kind of use is allowed?

After a guided discussion around ownership and permission and recording how different belongings might be used, pupils create a set of class rules around borrowing and using things owned by others, and consider what would and wouldn’t be acceptable use of those things.
