The Jos Post-Gameplay Quiz: October 16 Think Before You Share

A Day in the Life of the Jos is accompanied by a series of mini-quizzes (one for each day in the game) that can be completed once students have finished a particular day. Each quiz includes five multiple choice questions that should take only a few minutes to complete.

The quiz can be found by accessing the link in The Jos Quiz: October 16 Think Before You Share chapter of the student material. If you would like students to submit their scores, they will need to export a copy of their work to send you a copy.  

As with the choices in the game itself, some answers to the questions in the quizzes are better than others. Below are the best possible answers to each of the questions. 

October 16 Quiz

Question 1: Jo takes a photo while riding his bike and wants to share it without getting into trouble. Why can’t you rely on disappearing-photo apps to keep something totally private? 
Best answer is: Someone who receives a photo can always make a copy of it.
Question 2: Josie finds an embarrassing photo of herself online and wants it taken down. Why is it usually best to ask the poster directly if you want a photo taken down?
Best answer is: People will usually do it if you ask politely.
Question 3: Josie learns the hard way that she should log out of her social networks. Why is it important to log out of your social networks when you’re done using them?
Best answer is: Someone who uses the same device after you can access your account.
Question 4: Josie starts to think about her “digital footprint” in an assignment for Careers class. Why is it important to have an online presence that paints a positive picture of you?
Best answer is: Universities and employers often check your social network accounts when you apply for school or jobs.
Question 5: Jo’s friend Nathan wants a photo of Jo wearing a costume that’s kind of embarrassing. Why is cropping or blurring your face not enough to keep something like that private?
Best answer is: People who already know you will probably recognize you even without seeing your face.
