Young Canadians are remarkably active Internet users ? they are using the
Internet to build and foster social networks, inform and entertain
themselves, and take advantage of new learning opportunities.
The preliminary analysis of the Media Awareness Network’s groundbreaking
study of nearly 6000 Canadian students was released in June 2001. It
explored what young people do online, how they perceive the Internet and
what they know about it. These initial findings provide an interesting
comparison to data collected previously from over 1000 Canadian parents.

quickly! Learn how to make one, how to use it and some interesting facts
