Personal Data and Information

This quiz addresses part of the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2 in Computing. Specifically it looks at protecting personal data and information. It is one of 20 quizzes to help you find out about how computers work, and how they affect all our lives.

Computers can store vast amounts of information. Another word for all that information is data. We all have to be careful about the data stored on computers, protecting it from people we do not trust. At school, the school office has important personal information about you - your name, your address, your date of birth, who to contact at home, and your telephone numbers. Teachers keep records - how many gold stars you have won, and just how well you are doing in maths or history. Here’s a little quiz all about protecting your personal information.
