 * 1) A flyer advertising the activity and a brochure to be used as a handout at the activity, both created in Microsoft Word 2007/2010 (or Microsoft Publisher).
 * 2) A page in your Wiki that supports the Community Awareness Night, including
 * 3) Useful links for parents
 * 4) Interactive games and activities for students that teach Internet Awareness
 * 5) At least 2 embedded videos on Internet Awareness
 * 6) PDF versions of your flyer and brochure

The following should be on the Brochure:

 * Design should be creative using images, font style, color, class logo, website and teacher information, etc...
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Useful information for parents to be able to use and learn from. For example information about cyber police how to contact them and how they can help, information on what to do if a child is hurt or abused due to the Internet, the critical evaluation tool you developed and how parents may use it, information covering social networking, etc...
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A key note speaker, information covering who the key note speaker is.
