A Day in the Life of the Jos is an interactive educational game developed by MediaSmarts for students in grades 6-8. Through five engaging modules, students assist siblings Jo and Josie in navigating real-life digital dilemmas related to cyberbullying, data privacy, online reputation, privacy ethics, and verifying online information. Each scenario presents decision points where students choose actions and observe the consequences, encouraging critical thinking and ethical reasoning. The game includes a comprehensive Teacher's Guide with detailed instructions, research links, and answer keys, as well as post-activity quizzes to reinforce learning.
tag(s): cyberbullying (41), digital citizenship (104), digital literacy (31), social media (61)
In the Classroom
Assign students different "digital dilemmas" based on the game (ex., posting private info, confronting online bullying). Students prepare short arguments for or against a particular action, then hold mini debates to explore different perspectives. Have students explore the settings on common apps and websites (hypothetically or using screenshots provided by the teacher) and recommend safe privacy settings based on what they learned through Jo and Josie's experiences. Building on the "verifying online information" module, assign students to compete in small teams to check the accuracy of several online statements or images (provided by the teacher). This reinforces critical thinking about online content.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Cyber Choices is an interactive educational game developed by MediaSmarts for students in grades 3 to 5. Presented in an engaging online comic-book format with audio support for developing readers, the game enables students to explore four different stories that address key issues, including making informed choices about personal information, dealing with cyberbullying (as both a target and a witness), and managing online conflict. At critical points in each story, students practice decision-making skills by evaluating the reasons behind different choices, which leads to multiple possible endings. Accompanying the game is a comprehensive Teacher's Guide, which includes detailed instructions, classroom activities, handouts, and links to additional resources, facilitating meaningful discussions and reinforcing digital citizenship concepts in the classroom.
tag(s): cyberbullying (41), digital citizenship (104)
In the Classroom
Have students draw a short comic strip showing two different outcomes based on a single online decision (ex., sharing a password vs. keeping it private). They can create the comic strip digitally using ToonyTool reviewed here. Hold a "circle discussion" where you read out a situation similar to one in the game. Each student shares how they would respond and why, practicing respectful listening and explaining their understanding of digital responsibility. After playing the game, work as a class to create a "Cyber Code" -- a list of 5-7 rules or promises about how to act kindly and safely online. Post it somewhere visible and refer back to it during future tech use.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
