Scenario #1 - “John's Rant”
John just started attending a new school in California called Golden Bear Middle School. He has been struggling making new friends and the school work is much more difficult than his old school in South Carolina. He wants to play on his new school’s baseball team, but his parents have told him that he has to bring his grades up first. He has been studying, but his grades have still not been going very well. Yesterday at school, John received his Pre-Algebra test back and saw that he got a “D” on the test. He is understandably bummed because he thought he did pretty well. It didn’t help matters when one his new classmates saw his test and made a cruel remark that made him feel dumb. After he got home from school, he impulsively got online and had a major rant on Twitter at his classmates saying, “Golden Bear Middle School and its students suck!” He deleted it right after he did it, but some of his classmates saw the tweet.
Scenario #2 - “Scott‟s Sad Emoji Choice”
Scott’s friend Matt posted a message on What’s App that he was able to score an early video release of the new movie, “Emoji Movie” from a website for only $1.99. He is psyched and wants to share this resource with his friends so he passes the website link onto his friends (including Scott) on the What’s App.. Scott checks out the website and sees quite a few of the movies he has been planning to purchase when they are officially released on demand. This website, however, already has them available and for a lot less money! Scott is very cyber-savvy and questions for a minute if this is a legal website, but decides to go through with the purchase of “Emoji Movie” and begins providing personal information including specific payment using his Mom’s credit card info.
Scenario #3: “Debra‟s Dream Vacation Becomes Dreary”
Debra’s family feels they are pretty good about protecting their computer from malicious activity or hackers. They use anti-virus software and regularly install the updates, and they use an Internet filter to automatically block inappropriate information from accidentally being accessed online. Recently, however, Debra has received a lot of pop-up ads while she has been online researching places to go for the family’s summer vacation. Debra noticed that the ads started popping up right after she clicked on a link to a discounted trip to Hawaii that she researched in the hopes of convincing her parents to take everyone to the Islands! Debra assumed the updated anti-virus software kept her computer secure and protected from annoying and potentially harmful pop-ups. Perhaps she has a few more cyber-savvy tips to learn to become even more protected while connected!

Scenario #4- “Jake Gets Caught Taking The Bait”
Jake was using the Internet on his family’s home computer to email with some classmates about a really tough homework assignment they had in Math class. After finishing his homework, Jake decides to check his family’s general email account before logging off his computer. In his “Inbox” Jake sees several messages from his cousins on the West Coast, and another message from: [email protected] with a subject line that reads “You Have Won $1,000”. Jake skips his cousin’s email and opens the email message from "Comcast”, their internet provider. The message is directed to his parents and says that they have won $1,000 for being loyal Comcast customers. It looks like a legitimate message, so Jake begins to provide the detailed personal information they are requiring, including his parent’s address, date of birth and the name of the bank they use, so that Comcast can send the money. When he tells his parents what he did, they are really alarmed, and explain to him that this sounds like a scam and no legitimate bank or federal agency would ever ask a customer to provide personal financial information over the Internet.
Scenario #5: “Allison Accidentally Reveals Too Much”
Allison is an 8th grade sophomore who happens to be a star player on the girl’s soccer team. She has an Insta account that her parents know about and regularly posts pictures of her soccer team and their big wins. The pictures typically show the girls in their team uniforms with captions that make reference to their upcoming game date and time, and who they plan to play and beat next. Unfortunately, one day after school Allison receives an odd comment from an unknown follower with the user name “CreepySteve” asking details about when and where the next game is to be held. At first Allison ignores the person, but this only makes them more persistent. She blocks them and immediately tells her parents what happened. Once her parents see her insta account, they are more concerned because, without intending to, Allison has posted pictures and details that reveal a lot of personal information, including what school she goes to, when the girls practice, and who they plan to play next.
Scenerio #6: "Not all Fun and Games
Ryan is really good at Overwatch, a first person shooter game. He is so good, that he climbs the levels much quicker than all of his friends and leaves them behind and is forced into the better bands in the game. He loves playing with the better players, but many of them are much older than he is. During the gameplay, he often gets on chat and audio so he can communicate and play as a team with his new "friends." However, because they are older, they sometimes get out of hand and use language and talk about things that make Ryan uncomfortable, being raised in a Catholic home and a respectful family. Ryan doesn't want to stop playing, and he doesn't want to say anything for fear of looking like a wimp to the other players.
Scenario #7: “Julie‟s Bad Breakup Becomes Even Worse”
Kim and Julie’s parents are very cyber-savvy and keep the family computer in the kitchen where they can easily monitor what the girls are doing while online. Kim and Julie’s parents had a long talk with the girls about expectations for behavior on the Internet and the importance of open communication if something happens online that makes either of them feel uncomfortable. The girls play several online games, and the parents and the girls feel these are fairly safe. Both of Julies parents work, and Julie usually plays her games when she first gets home, and before she starts her homework. Usually the girls follow their parent’s rules very well, but Julie just broke up with her boyfriend and is really bummed. She talks about it pretty openly with friends while playing the online games in the chat box. While online one afternoon, Julie receives a friend request from someone she doesn’t recognize. The personal message says, “I know how you feel. I’m bummed too. My boyfriend and I broke up two weeks ago, right before homecoming! Feel free to email me if you want to talk to someone who really understands.”
