How long does it take?
The Safer Internet lessons took place over a 3 week period. Then we had 10 days in which to plan our activities, prepare our draft presentations, rehearse, refine and deliver our presentations to our peers. The presentations to other classes were allowed 30 minutes on the timetable.
How it works
Join groups together, so that each class has two or three presentations to experience.
Check the subject matter is suitable and has variety (for instance a game, a PowerPoint and a video) for each class.
Starter: We asked the class "what is good - bad - dangerous about the internet? Do you know?" We collected in their ideas.
Then we showed them the PowerPoint presentation or other activity.
Finally, we answered any questions from the group.

REVIEW
How it ends
We asked the classes to fill in an evaluation sheet for the activity. This was to find out if they remembered what we said and to help us next time. We filled in a self-reflection and self-assessment form. We came back together, as a class, and talked about what had been successful and where we would change things, if we do a similar thing again.
Always ask your participants for feedback:
- Did they understand the task?
- What did they learn?
- What did they find easy or difficult, and why?
- What did the student leaders do well?
- Where can the leaders improve?
- How could the activity be made even better?
