Put on a "hacking" demo by using chrome debugger / inspect element to modify html. Ask kids who their favorite celebrity / athlete is, pull up their twitter and edit the tweets to say "Joe is so cool!", etc. Load the school's webpage and change the names of teachers. Make it goofy.

I've used in-browser HTML editing in elementary school classrooms to great effect. A great trick is to "hack passwords" by typing in a password (will be represented by dots), then change its "type" attribute from "password" to "text"
