Proposal for Acquisition of Resources

● Slideshow and video will give a smooth introduction for this event and cover the “big
picture” ideas for the event.
● The event will need to have projectors and large screens to share the information to
ensure that all slides, videos, and other content can be seen by all the stakeholders.
● Having printed handout activities will give students hands-on material to increase
the probability that they will understand the goals of the event.
● Holding an event quiz will allow stakeholders to practice the goals of the event and
give a fun closer to the event that summarizes what students have learned from the
previously discussed material.
● Including “take home” resources gives parents and teachers the opportunity to do
their own research after the event so they may become more equipt in ensuring
their students/child is safely using the internet and not sharing personal
information.
● The family activity and other family engagement resources allow parents to initiate
full family efforts in practicing safe online habits.
