Learning about digital privacy with a serious game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media literacy is becoming increasingly important, also for young children. How do you teach them in an appealing way that caution and common sense are needed in the online world, so that they are aware of their digital privacy from an early age? With the Data Detox Game! A seriously fun surfing game for children aged 8 to 12 that addresses complex topics through play, from phishing to internet cookies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

FERS (formerly Library Service Fryslan) came to us with the desire to expand their previously realised \u2018Data Detox Kit<\/a>\u2019 with an educational game for primary school kids<\/strong><\/a>. While brainstorming with project leader Jeroen de Boer, we started looking for ways to translate difficult issues into the target group’s world of experience. Educational and fun naturally had to go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With children from primary school Op ‘e Trije in Ferwert, we tested the concept game at different stages. Do they like the artwork? How much explanation do the children need and to what extent do they understand the message of the game? (And not unimportantly: do they need an ‘extra boost’?!) The tests ensured that, together with FERS, we arrived at a product that really connects with the target group’s world of experience. Even better: some children could not wait for the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
