Learners will practice how to protect their privacy on the internet. They will learn about their browsing history and how to open a private window that will not track their history. Learners will also learn to recognize secure and insecure websites. 

Learners will practice filling out online forms and common issues filling them out. Learners will identify required information online forms.
