Step into the Digital World

In this quest, students will embark on a journey to uncover the vast array of opportunities and exciting activities awaiting them in the digital realm. However, they will also explore the importance of navigating this world safely, as there are potential dangers lurking around every corner.

Through collaborative discussions, students will delve into questions such as: How can we make the most of these opportunities? What are some of the coolest things we can do online? And most importantly, how do we identify and address the risks that come with it? They will document their findings and strategies in a trial passport, equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of what lies ahead as they delve deeper into the HackShield world.

This quest serves as a pivotal introduction to not only the subsequent classroom quests but also to the individual game, setting the stage for a transformative learning experience in the realm of digital citizenship and cybersecurity.

Points

The class quests earn points. Individually, but also as a class. The points that students earn individually determine their place on the HackShield scoreboard. After completing each class quest, which can only be played via a teacher account, you as a teacher will receive a code. Students can enter this code in their individual accounts and receive points and a shield. These can be found in their HackShield accounts.
