Sharing information
In this class quest students experience how difficult it can be to estimate when and with whom you do or do not share information, photos or videos (online). Through the quest, including an experiment in the classroom, students discover the consequences of sharing information. They also learn why they should think carefully about what others could do with that information. We consider the fact that everyone has different wishes and limits when it comes to putting and sharing photos and videos online. It is important to put yourself in someone else's shoes, and to take into account that that person may be in a very different position. Think before you post.

Points
With the classquest, points can be earned for the game. Individually, but also in class. The points the students, who are trained as Cyber Agents through HackShield, collect determine their place in the Honor Roll. The best Cyber Agents stand a chance to win exclusive HackShield prizes or even be honored by the mayor and/or police.
After completing each classquest, which can only be played through a Teacher's Account, you as a teacher will receive a code. The students can enter this code in their individual account, after which they receive points and a Shield. These are reflected in their HackShield account.
