Internet Security

I am building an Internet Security lesson. Is anyone aware of online games that teach lessons about spam, spyware, etc.? Would welcome ideas that support grades 5 thru 12. Objective is to have HS students create an Internet Security wiki page(s).

Thank you.

I teach Digital Citizenship to Intermediate students. There are great resources located on this live binder at http://livebinders.com/play/play_or_edit?id=19692. Also, http://commoncraft.com has some great videos explaining phishing schemes, secure passwords, etc.

I love the CommonCraft Phishing video. It is very easy to understand. I use some of these games below when discussing Internet Safety in my 6th Grade Computer Class. We talk Internet Safety every Wednesday. I could share many more later, but I have to go through my bookmarks. I have really focused on Internet Safety the last few years and have amassed hundreds of websites and resources. Your question is going to help me get more organized.

I tried to simply include sites that have games (per your request), and not sites that have JUST resources and information.
