Q3 The Digital Shield: Social Media Simulation

3. My Digital Life

Mission Instructions: The Social Media Sim

Mission Briefing: Now that you have gathered intel on the Digital Hubs (social media apps), it is time to put your training to the test. You will navigate a four-step tactical scenario to see how your Hero Persona handles real-world “System Glitches” and potential Data Leaks. 

Phase 1: Team TactiCal Scenario Analysis

Time to analyze actions taken.  Your commander (teacher) will introduce you to the mission and determine your squad.

Step 1. Read through all of these mission steps before getting started. This will help frame the Phase 1 Mission.

Step 2. Once your commander assigns you to a squad, you will discuss the scenarios on slides 4-8. It will be important to record how the scenario will impact "Your Group's Shield."

Step 3. Now each member of the squad will need to make a copy or download the T3.Q3 Social Media Scenario mission slides (image below is also linked) to follow along and record discussion points.

Phase 2: Solo Tactical Scenario Analysis

Step 1. Now that you have had some meaningful conversation with your squad, it is time for some solo practice.

  • Work through the scenarios in the T3.Q3 Hero Academy Digital Shield app.
  • Create your own digital shield by selecting the features that fit your Power Signature and declare a motto.
    • For your motto, you may be allowed to use an approved online tool or work with your squad to help brainstorm a motto.

Step 2. Complete Sectors 2 & 4 in your Hero ID card from Quest 1.

  • Slide 6 in your Power Signature Portfolio.
  • Or, in the tool that you used to create your Hero ID and then upload a new screenshot to slide 6.
  • You may also opt to update the "front" of you card (slide 5) with other information.
