I recall doing an internet scavenger hunt around that age.(not sure exactly when). We were given a list of things to find a picture of. Examples may be the worlds largest snow man or the Eiffel tower at night. The main point is to get them comfortable with doing a web search. If you want to add difficulty to the internet scavenger hunt ask questions like "How tall is the Eiffel tower?". This activity may be outdated due to kids today being introduced to the internet at a younger age and more frequently. It is really your best judgement on whether or not such activity is of value to the group of kids you are given.

If the students are more advanced, I'd suggest Lightbot or Lightbot 2.0. They are both online flash games that involve thinking like a programmer to get the robot to do what you want. I've taken basic programming though and must admit the more advanced levels stump me.

It might help if you clue us in on the expected background of your students. Is this intended to be a remedial class for kids that struggle with technology? or is it intended to allow "advanced" students get ahead? Which group you cater to will greatly influence what you teach.
