You have been building things that connect: a website, a model that watches a camera, devices that talk over radio. When your work goes online, or when you use other people's work, two questions come up at once. What are you allowed to expect from others? And what do others get to expect from you?
Today you sort those into rights and responsibilities, fix one concrete line on a project of your own, and write the right and responsibility you will stand over.
A right is something you are entitled to. A responsibility is something you are expected to do. Online, the two travel together.
Three issues matter most for a connected creator:
Before you sort situations, look briefly at a real project on the board with your teacher. Spot what a visitor can already see about who made it, or about their data, and what is missing. You will fix a line like that on your own work later.
Work in pairs. For each situation below, decide:
Spend about three minutes per situation. Be ready to defend one answer to the class.
Open a project you have already built that goes online or shares data: your website, a page about your investigated problem, or notes tied to your micro:bit work. If that file is missing, open the class template page your teacher has ready (a simple page with a placeholder footer) and work on a copy of that instead.
Before you change anything, look at what a visitor or classmate would see right now, the same way you did with the project on the board. Then replace or add one visible line that puts a right or responsibility into the work itself:
Preview or run the project so the new line is visible on screen. Leave the project open; you will need it in a moment.
