Coco's Adversmarts This game is an interactive unit is designed to help kids between the ages of 5 and 8 recognize the marketing techniques used on commercial websites that target children.

Passport to the Internet This game is an interactive tutorial that teaches students ages 9-13 critical thinking skills they need to apply to their online experiences, including online safety, authenticating online information, recognizing online marketing ploys, protecting their privacy, managing online relationships and dealing with cyber-bullying.
Privacy Pirates This game introduces children, ages 7-9, to the concept of online privacy and teaches them to distinguish between information that is appropriate to give out and information better kept private – and to recognize how this may change in different contexts. In the game children assemble a map leading to a pirate treasure (to introduce the idea that personal information has value). As they do this, they will be asked a variety of questions about privacy and personal information on the Internet. Correct choices will be rewarded with an additional piece of the map.
Privacy Playground: The First Adventure of the Three CyberPigs Thisis a game that is designed for ages 8-10. The CyberPigs play on their favourite website and encounter marketing ploys, spam and a close encounter with a not-too-friendly wolf. The purpose of the game is to teach kids how to spot online marketing strategies, protect their personal information and avoid online predators.
CyberSense and Nonsense: The Second Adventure of The Three CyberPigs This is a sequel to Privacy Playground, which is designed for ages 8-10. The three CyberPigs learn some important lessons about authenticating online information and observing rules of netiquette. They also learn how to distinguish between fact and opinion and how to recognize bias and harmful stereotyping in online content. As Les, Mo and Lil discover, “just because it’s on the Internet, doesn’t mean it’s true.”
