We've designed these quizzes to be bite-sized introductory exercises to the problems and dangers of using the internet and other mobile technology. There are two topic-based quizzes which enable students to consider personal safety issues, including chat room etiquette and online bullying, and information security issues, including password choice, spam reduction and identity theft. Finally, our What Do You Think? survey template allows students to give their opinions about the internet and its capabilities. These can be used by teachers as a basis for class debate on the subject. More detailed teacher notes on this quiz can be found here.
Suggested Lesson Plans
Set the Personal Safety quiz for your students and see how they score. Use the Yacapaca marking analysis tools to see which questions they got wrong and target your teaching to correct misunderstandings. If you have time, set the What Do You Think? survey and project (or write) the results onto the board as a prompt for discussion.

Set the What Do You Think? survey and project (or write) the results onto the board as a prompt for discussion. Detailed teacher notes to help guide debate are available here. Once you have raised the relevant issues in class discussion, test your students' knowledge of online hazards by setting the Personal Safety and Information Security quizzes. You may like to set the What Do You Think? survey again to see if your students' attitudes to online safety have changed since they learned more about it.
