Disinformation

In this class quest students meet Lux, this character is the 'Guardian of knowledge and information'. They find out that disinformation comes at you in many places and that it is wise to always be critical of the information you find. It is especially wise to respond calmly, think for yourself first, and possibly check with other sources.

Learning goals

  • searching for the right information and checking their sources.
  • to consciously think about where they get their news or information from.
  • to identify digital sources where useful information can be found.
  • to estimate the nature of digital information sources.
  • to assess whether the acquired information is useful, reliable and representative.
  • the meaning of disinformation and misinformation.

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.
