This is an individual work and thus I have concluded the awareness programme on the topic Positive and Negative Effects of Internet. Internet is an inevitable and integral part of modern life. Every services on today’s world leans on to the internet facility due to its mass appeal and effectiveness in consolidating the people. So it is impossible to abstain from internet.

PLAN OF ACTION

Planning is an important and significant criterion behind every successful mission. Only proper planning can lead to proper presentation and feedback. I decided that it should be a good chance to give valuable information to the students based on their life. So I have chosen the topic “Positive and Negative Effects of the Internet” for the conscientization programme. I have also planned to show them a video presentation that clearly depicts the negative effects of internet. I plan to execute the class with the aid of ppt. I have planned to conduct the programme based on the topic “Positive and Negative Effects of the Internet on students

EXECUTION OF THE PLAN

As planned, the programme was conducted on 28 January at 11.4 A.M on G.H.S.S, Kanyakulangara . I selected the 8th standard students for the programme .i have welcomed the students to the programme. After a prayer we began the session. With the help of a video I initiated students about the negative effects of internet. Then with the aid of ppt I gave them information about the positive and negative effects of internet.it was an interactive session. I asked them some questions related to the topic and they answered well. They also asked their doubts to me. I was able to clarify them properly. After the class I assigned them a task to prepare a poster. With the set time they came forward with some posters. After that an oath was taken about adequate and appropriate use of internet. At the end of class, class leader Jerin delivered a vote of thanks.

REFLECTION

The Conscientization Programme that I have conducted was a successful one. The topic was ‘Positive and Negative Effects of Internet’. It was truly an interactive session. I felt that the points also helped me to boost my confidence level. It also helped me to improve the qualities of presentation skills, leadership skills, organisation and team work skills. Students were felicitated for the programme. The topic also seemed very apt and relevant for the contemporary era. I could complete the programme on time. I was also able to give enough time for students to complete their task (i.e. Poster making). Students were very enthusiastic and drawn into the topic and activities.
