Students were very happy about the workshop and very disciplined.  Following is the brief list of the questions asked by the students during the sessions.

1. What is the difference between a virus and  spy-ware?
2. Is it safe to use Social networking websites such as Facebook ?

Principal of the school was very impressed. She narrated a experience of a student using internet so heavily that he owed as high as Rs. 3000/- as a debt to the net cafe owner in the city. So she was of the opinion that even the Cyber Cafe owners should be held responsible for such a casual approach of  students.

Quiz section went really excellent and students enjoyed answering the questions in a very sporting and rational manner.
