the Internet at school! After a unanimous vote to put a hold on all Internet
activities the parents vow that they will never again allow their students
to be put in danger by giving them access to theInternet. These parents
believe that the Internet is nothing more than an unsafe playground. After
much pleading by the students, the parents have agreed to meet again next
week for a final vote.
Will the Internet be banned forever? Or can the students change their future?
The Task
Your parents are trying to ban the Internet! It is up to you and your
teammates to make sure that does not happen. You need to prove to your
parents that you understand how to be safe on the Internet and you will only
have one chance to do so. At the next parent meeting, you and your team will
present a poster presentation that covers Internet Safety. To accomplish
this goal you and your team will each choose a different role and gather
information about different aspects of the Internet. You must become an
expert in your area so that you are able to persuade your parents to vote in
favour of allowing the Internet back into the classroom. You and your group
must compile the information you find into a 58 minute presentation that
focuses on Internet Safety. You will also compile a list of the top 10 rules
for staying safe on the Internet to be displayed as a reminder to
surf safely on the Internet.
