Digital Compass is a choose-your-own-adventure interactive game for Android phones and tablets. Developed for 6th to 9th graders, Digital Compass lets kids step into the shoes of eight characters to experience the twists and turns of daily digital life. Invite students to explore digital dilemmas, make good (and not-so-good) decisions, and try out possible solutions through stories and mini-games – all without risking their real-world reputations. Discover how Common Sense Education’s award-winning digital literacy and citizenship curriculum seamlessly integrates into blended-learning environments.

Digital Compass is developmentally appropriate for middle school students and offers opportunities to the do the following: explore, experiment, make decisions (deductive reasoning), rationalize (abstract thinking), risk taking, judge conventions (conventional reasoning), assert individuality, express themselves, form relationships (non-platonic), and interact with peers. It provides a safe place to explore decisions and their outcomes.

The game features 8 topical modules with 8 corresponding mini-games and printable extension materials, all tied to curriculum categories:

o Cyberbullying

o Privacy

o Creative Credit & Copyright

o Information Literacy

o Internet Safety

o Digital Footprint & Reputation

o Self-image & Identity

o Relationships & Communication

Each module has 9 endings, 32 paths, and 51 unique combinations based on decision points.

Quantitative assessment consists of an individual’s scorecard (which can be emailed) and records:

o Percentage score of story paths completed

o First percentage score of mini-gameplay (pre-assessment)

o Percentage score of highest mini-game-play

Each mini-game consists of three levels of gameplay, and has randomized content to encourage repeated play.

Digital Compass includes an easy login so multiple students can play on a single device.
