In this lesson on cybersecurity, students grades 6-8 explore the concept of privacy in their everyday lives and as it relates to visiting Web sites. Students will explore privacy in a real-world setting and in cyberspace; understand why companies collect information about visitors on their Web sites; and learn to use online privacy terms. 
During the week of December 6 – 12, educators, students and parents are invited to participate in Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), designed to raise awareness of computing’s role in today’s global information society and promote in-depth computer science education for K-12 students.
