Planning Notes
 Review the slides and the exercises in the lesson.
 This unit will challenge a lot of fundamental assumptions students will have about what
the internet is, and how it works. It may be useful to explore these assumptions at the
start of the class to get everyone on the same page.
 Note: This lesson deals with the censorship of internet content. Please be aware that some
students may come from a country that has experienced this censorship or propaganda.
Discuss beforehand if they would like to share their experience or if they feel
uncomfortable with the material. The main ideas can still be reached by only discussing
censorship in the US.
