TMI Decisions

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to build strong digital citizenship and decision-making skills by evaluating real-life data-sharing scenarios. Students read prompts describing apps or websites asking for information, decide whether they would share it (“Yes” or “No”), and justify each choice in complete sentences. By analyzing what data is requested and why, learners develop awareness of digital footprints, privacy risks, and responsible online behavior.

Learning Goals

• Written Explanation & Justification (Grades 4-6) – Students clearly explain their decisions using complete sentences and logical reasoning.
• Understanding Data Sharing & Privacy – Learners identify what types of information are safe or unsafe to share.
• Evaluating Consequences – Students consider who might see the information and how it could be used.
• Responsible Digital Decision-Making – Learners practice making thoughtful choices before sharing data online.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to support ELA writing, SEL, and technology literacy standards.
• Realistic, Relatable Scenarios – Reflects common apps and websites students encounter.
• Clear Yes/No Decision Structure – Makes abstract privacy concepts concrete and approachable.
• Reflective Writing Practice – Encourages students to articulate reasoning, not just choose an answer.
• Flexible Classroom Use – Suitable for whole-class discussion, independent work, centers, or homework.

This printable worksheet helps students become more mindful digital citizens by practicing how to evaluate data-sharing requests before clicking “agree.” Learners strengthen reasoning, written explanation, and privacy awareness while developing habits that support safe, responsible online behavior. Ideal for classroom or homeschool use, this no-prep activity builds confidence and critical thinking around everyday technology choices.
