It's a good way of justifying the showing of a lot of IT videos - it and helps fill the time when you really couldn't be bothered going on stage, or have to keep the audience quiet while you deal with administrivia ;-)<br>- Do a bit on home networking and SOHO design, including wifi security. It's the only time I've seen year 9/10 kids frantically taking notes, because they want to try it at home. They also like the researching of home network equipment and getting prices online.<br>- Cover website setup: get them to find a domain name they like and go shopping for a web host. They will spend <i>hours</i> on that!<br>- If your techies can swing it, let the kids play with a CMS like Joomla or Drupal or similar.
