=== After an emergency meeting, the parents and teachers of Ligonier Valley Middle School have banned the use of the Internet at school! A vote was passed to put a hold on all Internet activities, and the teachers and parents of LVMS students vow that they will never again allow their students to be put in danger by giving them access to the Internet. These adults believe that the Internet is nothing more than an unsafe playground. ===
 * INTRODUCTION **

Your computer teacher, Mrs. Saxton, has pleaded with the adults to meet again and reconsider the decision. A meeting will be held next week, and Mrs. Saxton’s students must convince the adults that middle school students know how to be safe on the Internet. Will the Internet be banned forever? Or can the students of LVMS change their future?

You and your partner have one chance to prove to your parents and teachers that you know how to be safe online. At the next meeting, each team will present a Google Slide that details Internet Safety protocols for students. To accomplish this goal, each team member will gather information about one of four different Internet aspects. You must become an expert in your area so that you are able to persuade your parents and teachers to vote in favor of allowing the Internet back into the classroom.
