Lesson Duration:

2 Weeks: October 13-17 and October 20 – 24th

Performance Objective:

Upon completion of this assignment, the student will be able to build a small network and identify the different types of hackers.

Specific Objectives:

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to

· Define a computer system

· Identify the parts of a network

· Create a network with the following components: Workstation, Server, Modem, Hub, Switch, and Routers.

· Define the types of networks including Peer-to-Peer and Client Server (Ethernet, Token Ring, LAN, WAN)

· Identify the different types of operating systems

· Identify hackers and common security threats

Preparation

TEKS Correlations:

§130.272 Principles of Information Technology:

Introduction/

MODIFICATIONS AND ACCOMODATIONS

MI

Introduction (LSI Quadrant I):

SAY, “How many of you have ever logged onto a computer at school, the library, or a home office with more than one computer?”

ASK, “Have you ever wondered how it all works?”

Outline

MI

Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Teachers can use the Networks and Hackers Presentation and Handout and Lab.

Instructor Notes:

I. Hand out the Teen Hacker Article Handout to the students to read.

I. Hand out this article for the students to read for homework ahead of this lesson.

II. Hand out the Networks and Hackers Notes Handout or advise students to take notes during the presentation.

II. Hand out copies of the Network and Hacker Notes to each student, or you can advise each student to get ready to take notes.

III.

Show the presentation, which covers the following concepts:

a. Computer system

b. Parts of a network

I. Workstation ii. Server Iii. Modem iv. Hub

V. Switch vi. Router

C. Types of networks

I. Peer-to-peer ii. Client server

1. Ethernet

2. Token ring

3. Lan

4. Wan

d. Operating systems

e. Hackers

F. Security threats

III.

Students should be taking notes as you are showing the

Networks and Hackers

Presentation.

IV.

Hand out the Lab Assignment to students. They will create diagrams of the networks based on seniors listed.

IV.

Students should draw out 3 different types of networks listed on the Lab Assignment. Have them create a legend for the different parts of the network they are trying to draw – like a box with the word Router for a router.

V.

Work through the SOHO portion of the lab together – the key listed is one of many solutions.

VI.

Work through the SOHO setup as a

class so that students understand what you are looking for.

VII.

Student groups need to finish up the Lab Assignment.

V.

Divide students into groups of two or three. Have them complete the Lab Assignment for the small office and world wide company.

VIII. Review for Networks and Hackers Quiz

VI. After completion of the lab, have students create flash cards of the important terms to study for the quiz.

Application

MI

Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III):

Do the SOHO portion of the lab as a class.

MI

Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III):

Hand out the Lab Assignment. Divide students into groups of two or three. Have each group work together on the following…

SAY, “Students, now that you see how we have set up a SOHO, see if you and a partner can come up with one possible solution to the rest of the problems on the Lab Assignment.”

Summary

MI

Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV):

SAY, “Now that we have a good understanding about Networks, we need to study for our quiz. In your groups, each of you needs to create your own set of flash cards to study. Work together as a group to make sure that you do not miss any important concepts or terms. I will need to review these to make sure that I feel you are not missing anything. I would also draw out our SOHO example so that you do not forget it later.”

Evaluation

MI

Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III):

· Teacher will check for understanding while going through the SOHO portion of the lab as a class.

· Review of student-created flash cards

MI

Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV):

· Completion of the rest of the Lab Assignment done in groups.

· Networks and Hackers Quiz WEDENSDAY AND THURSDAY
