My 4^th grade students work in pairs to create power point slides to present to their peers about the importance of Internet safety to reinforce the concepts presented in the cartoon. After they slides were completed the students used animation to have their boxes come into the slide. 

Another lesson extension: I modeled the importance of protecting personal information using search engines like Google and websites like Whitepages.com are great resources to reinforce the importance of not sharing personal information with online strangers.
