The Canadian Internet Registration Agency, which manages the .ca domain (and of which I am a member) has released some internet safety materials. "While studies show Canadian youth are more tech savvy than older Internet users, they are also more likely to take security risks online. Winning the Cyber Security Game aims to give students in Grades 5-8 tools and strategies to mitigate and prevent negative online experiences.... The new teaching unit complements the Cyber Security Consumer Tip Sheet for adults released by CIRA and MNet in April 2011." Just to be clear, this isn't an online game - it's a PDF that you're supposed to print and, I guess, use in the classroom. While I'm sure the objective is laudable, I can't help but think that this represents a bit of scope creep for the Agency, which should maybe sticking to managing the .ca domain registry.
