Quiz ReflectionWe are seeking your feedback on the quiz to ensure students think about relevant scenarios ….

• Do you think the quiz reflects the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)?

• Do you think the quiz promotes Digital Citizenship?

• How do you think the quiz could be improved?

Scenario 1“I have been hanging out to get a part time job. I got an interview at a cafe close

to home. And… I thought I’d done really well … but it turns out I didn’t get the job. I found out that while the Manager was interviewing me, he was looking at my Facebook page on his laptop. I thought it was all okay, but my mate had just

tagged me in some photos from a party on the weekend, and I was totally wasted. He thought it was hysterical. I didn’t even know he’d taken them!”

• What things would most people be happy to share with others?

• What are some things that are more sensitive and private?

Advice• Before you post something - be it a comment or an image, ask yourself if the

people you love and respect would think that what you’re putting up is okay.

• If you want your privacy respected, respect the privacy of others and don’t post private messages or embarrassing images

• Be clear about who you want to be online and offline. Let other people know that you don’t want them putting embarrassing material about you online.

• Regularly check your privacy settings. Limit people from posting or sharing content to your feed.

Scenario 2“Whenever I get on Facebook I notice that John is always online too. I

mentioned this to him and how amazing it was that we were always on at the same time! He said that he’s always on Facebook because he’s worried that

he’ll miss out and he gets up through the night to check. No wonder he’s always falling asleep in class!”

Advice• What do you think you will miss out on?

• Why do you feel the need to be up-to-date?

• What are you missing out on by always being connected?

• What would change if you weren’t online?

Scenario 3“I like to play multiplayer online games. My favourite is FIFA. While you play, you can chat with other Players, and it’s great to know that these people are from all over the world. One player, killmatt4, often chats with me. He’s got

some amazing scores and is always willing to share strategies. Last time, he said he would send me lots of tips but he needs my address to send the

information because the files are too big.”

• What are some concerns you have about this scenario? • Are online relationships real?

• How do you know someone is your friend? • How do you know when someone is telling the truth or lying to you? • What helps you to trust people who say they’re your friends?

• What advice could you give to this student to keep their privacy?

Advice• Your personal information is valuable. Keep it protected on social networks.

• Many people make their living from scamming other people online. You will be much safer from their scams if you talk openly about your activities with trusted older people, and don’t keep secrets.

• Know and use the protection provided in the security settings of the sites and apps you use.

• Suggest alternative ways to send large files which don’t involve giving your physical address.
