The Jos Post-Gameplay Quiz: October 6 Who’s Watching Me Now?
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 in The Jos Quiz: October 6 Who’s Watching Me Now? 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 6 Quiz
| Question 1: | Jo wants to do a quiz on his social media feed. Why should you think twice before doing a quiz online? |
| Best answer is: Online quizzes are often just a sneaky way for companies to get your personal information. | |
| Question 2: | Jo has to read the Terms of Service to find out how to completely close an old game account. What do you need to know about Terms of Service before clicking “I agree”? |
| Best answer is: Terms of Service are a binding contract between you and the company. | |
| Question 3: | Josie turns off the GPS on her phone so she won’t get messages from nearby stores. When does it make sense to turn the GPS on? |
| Best answer is: When you’re using an app (like a map or a ridesharing app) that needs to know where you are. | |
| Question 4: | Jo gets a message that looks like it’s from a video game company, but it turns out to be a scam. Why shouldn’t you click on links that are sent to you in emails or messages? |
| Best answer is: The link could lead to a phishing or malware site. | |
| Question 5: | After using the family’s computer, Josie gets a message from Jo saying that he saw ads online based on what Josie was searching for. She was kind of embarrassed – that search should have been private. How does what you search for affect which ads you see? |
| Best answer is: Search engines use your searches to decide what to advertise to you. |
