Wed and Thu: 2 day partner Mock Explore PT.

You and your partner will explore one of the following computing innovations:
1. RFID 2. SRAM flash memory 3. digital speech recognition 4. magnetic stripes (as in Metrocards)

Following the directions on the right sidebar of the blog, you will create a mock Explore PT. You and your partner will submit two files to Google Classroom before school on Friday. These two files are the computing artifact and a pdf of the responses 2a - 2e. 
Naming convention: Lastname1Lastname2Artifact and Lastname1Lastname2Responses.pdf

On Friday, you will self-grade on the rubric, then peer-grade with another team, and finally we will quickly look through all of them as a class.

Next week, you will start your individual Explore PT with most of the class time devoted to the performance task. During this time, you will need to work quietly, without input from others or from me. You might want to bring headphones. You will also update your progress in your AN each day.

Monday: Preview Kahoot, albert.io, data and information vocab in your AN

Tuesday Ticket out the Door: your computing innovation for the Explore PT - how is data used (input, process and/or, output)

​How can we model computing in terms of input, process, output, and data?  How do you think feedback could be part of this model?

Cybersecurity Assignment: Due in Google Classroom end of Class Thursday
Partners and Topics:
Malware and Mobile Malware: Vibhav, Jared
Phishing/Reconnaissance: Joel, John
DDoS/DoS Attacks: Hannah, Navya
SQLinjection: Tony, Surina
Malvertising: Zach, Rohit
Password Attack/Third Party Attack: Lucy, Risha
Code Backdoor: Patrick, Tahj
Internet of Things Vulnerability:  Reaux, Elizabeth
Infrastructure (power grid, communications, etc.) Vulnerability: Jack, Weston
Cloud Storage Vulnerability: Chase, Mateen, Aryan

Overview of Required Slides and Information (Minimum):

1. One-slide overview of cybersecurity incidents of 2016
2. One-slide overview of cybersecurity concerns for the future

For your specific assignment (if you have a vulnerability, replace attack with vulnerability):

1. Locate, analyze and record the definition and examples of each of the types of attack.
2. Locate an example of the specific type of attack.
3. Catalog as much possible the impact of the attack on the business, economy, culture and/or society.
4. Determine measures recommended to combat such attacks and where within the hierarchy of the network or internet such protection is recommended to be executed.
5. Provide a clear, complete reference page for all resources used during the project.  
6. Prepare a presentation of your findings. Each of the above should be a minimum of 1 slide.

Questions to ask yourself as you start your Explore PT:
1. In what way is your computing innovation an innovation (i.e., in what way did it substantially change the behavior of a population?)
2. How can you describe that population's behavior before and after your innovation?
3. Is there an economic impact?  social? cultural?
4. How does your innovation use data?  as input (consume)? as output (produce?) as process (transform?)
5. What is a security, privacy, and/or storage concern?
6. Which sources help you to understand and share the answers to the above?
7. What are the most important pieces of information you want your artifact to convey?

Mon: Cybersecurity in class assignment
Tue: Intro to Explore, HTML Assignment, Cybersecurity notes and presentations
Wed: Media Center
Thu: HTML Assignment work day/due at end of class
Fri: Cybersecurity and Internet Protocol Quiz; Sphero Maze, Game and Python Choice Day

Explore Performance Task Intro: 
In addition to your Innovation Summary from last week, this week you will have a chance to go to the Media Center to learn how to use the various search engines, how to find new articles, and how to reference reputable sources. 

HTML Assignment:
1. Open the file below, intro-html-assignment.  Complete the worksheet and submit to Google classroom.
2.  Work through the Code Academy Tutorial.
3.  Complete HTML Project 1 per the instructions.  Use the HTML Resource and HTML Code links for extra resources.  You will need to go to the studrive, to Handouts/Maloney/Notepad++.  Either copy that folder to your stu number or run the application from the studrive location.  You can type your code in Notepad++ and then click on run to see it run in Google Chrome.  When you are finished, upload a copy of your code to Google classroom.  

Cybersecurity Assignment:

1. One-slide overview of cybersecurity incidents of 2016
2. One-slide overview of cybersecurity concerns for the future
