Help Us Save Our Devices!

The School Board is very concerned about student safety. One of their concerns is whether students are safe online. They have been seeing a lot of things in the news about identity theft, cyberbullying, and other hazards of the internet. One of the solutions they have come up with is to take away student devices to keep them off of the internet. We love our devices and think they are a valuable tool in the classroom, so we need your help! If the School Board knew that students were good digital citizens and knew how to use the internet properly and safely, they would change their mind. You must make it out of this Digital Escape Room to prove to the School Board that you can make good decisions about device use.

Good Luck!

Heart is assigned to video-chat with a girl named Kaia. Heart is nervous about meeting her and wonders if they will have anything in common. When they meet, however, Heart quickly sees that Kaia is very nice and that they have lots in common. For example, they're both on PhotoFun. Heart is also excited to meet Kaia because her parents are from India, and Heart has always wanted to know more about what it's like there. At the end of their chat, Kaia asks Heart if she can follow her on PhotoFun. Heart smiles and says, "Of course!"

Heart gets a message on her phone from her friend CJcool11. She doesn't know CJcool11's real name and age, but they've been online friends for a couple of months. They "met" when he posted a comment on one of her PhotoFun photos, a photo of her dog, Pepper. She replied, and they shared some funny stories about their dogs. Now, they talk a lot online. When she shares a problem she has at school, CJcool11 always has good ideas for handling the problem. Today, CJcool11's message reads, "My annoying neighor never cleans up after his dog." Heart responds: "That's rude. Everyone on my street always does." After moment, CJcool11 answers back, "Rly? What street do you live on?" Heart pauses. This question makes her feel uncomfortable.
