For this unit, I'm trying something new. Instead of me leading the students through a demonstration and the whole class working on a single assignment, the students get to pick which assignment they want to work on and they use the Canvas assignment page as the resource for learning. The assignment page has detailed instructions, requirements, and a video demonstrating how to perform the skills. We'll do this for three classes - one assignment per day.
So far, the biggest advantage to working the unit in this way is the flexibility I have to circulate and help students one-on-one. If someone is struggling, I can park in a chair for a few minutes to get them on track. And even though we're only on the first day, it also seems like the students enjoy the choice. Of course there's less choice each day... :)
The topic of these documents is protecting our data online (including money). The flyer looks at ways to shop online safely - one of our favorite activities. The letter discusses tips for stronger passwords, using two-factor authentication, and updating software to patch security holes. Finally, the tables look at online threats and the tools we can use to prevent them. Overall, a lot of great information!
