Mission Safe Message

In this class quest, students help Sanne and André check the messages that older people send to them. Many elderly people receive online messages they don’t know how to handle. That’s why the Cyber Agents in the classroom are given the task of evaluating these messages using five basic rules to check them properly. This way, they learn to recognize fake and mean messages and discover how to avoid falling into online traps.

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.
