• Give the students an Internet safety activity to work on before the presentation to start them thinking about the topic. For example:
• Ask them to keep track of the number of hours they spend on the Internet, at school and at home, and compare it to the number of hours they spend watching television or doing sports/hobbies.
• Have them list their favourite activities on the Internet (such as visiting websites and chatrooms, sending e-mails and instant messages, and downloading music or other files).
• Ask them to count the number of people they speak to online, and of those people, how many they know in person versus how many they met through the Internet.

• Ask them to count the number of people they speak to online, and of those people, how many they know in person versus how many they met through the Internet.
• Find ways of reinforcing the message of Internet safety in the weeks after your presentation when the students may begin to forget what they have learned. For example:
• Post a list of safety tips beside school/community centre computers. Be sure to include contacts they can reach if they find something inappropriate or dangerous on the Internet, such as www.cybertip.ca, the school guidance office, your local police service. (See “Safety Tips”.)
