How this mission works
A 3-scene interactive lab. Scene 1: classify social media posts as cyberbullying or not and explain why. Scene 2: branching dialogue — choose how to respond as a bystander and see the outcome. Scene 3: a step-by-step walkthrough of reporting and blocking on a simulated platform. Cipher AI provides a personalized debrief.
What students actually encounter
Someone posts an embarrassing photo of a classmate with a mocking caption — bystander or upstander?
A group chat is excluding one student on purpose — what does the research say you should do?
Cipher is with them the whole way
When a student gets stuck on Cyberbullying Defender, Cipher appears with a mission-specific nudge — no spoilers, just a hint toward the right thinking. Make a wrong choice, and Cipher explains the real-world consequence. Finish the mission, and Cipher generates a personalized performance debrief based on exactly how the student played it.
ISTE alignment
Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation, and demonstrate understanding of rights and obligations in digital environments.
