In this lesson, students will have a high-level discussion about what the internet is and how the internet works. The topics of anonymity and censorship will also be discussed.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will explore the DNS system and how it maps human readable domain names into actual accessible IP addresses.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students learn about the last piece of the puzzle for how the Internet works: Packets and Protocols. All information sent over the internet is broken down into small groups of bits called packets. The format for creating and reading packets is defined by open protocols so that all devices can read packets from all other devices.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will learn about the many protocols and standards that are used to send and receive information across a network. Students will learn how networks use specific ports and protocols, each with a specific purpose, such as sending and receiving emails. Students will also learn about wireless networking standards and how frequency and channels relate to speed of data transmission.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will build on their knowledge of networks and consider how to ensure the perimeter of a network is secure. Students will learn about different devices that can be used to secure a company?s intranet from the internet as well as ways to enable remote access to the intranet.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will discuss the ways that the protocols that we have discussed can be exploited, and some methods of protection that we have. We learn about the impact of cybercrime and how we can combat cyber attacks with cybersecurity. Cryptography is the cornerstone of secure communication.
Students will have an understanding of why cybersecurity is necessary, and some practical measures that they can take themselves to improve their security on the internet.
In this lesson, students will build upon their foundational knowledge of networks to learn about advanced network devices. Students will delve into devices that enable communication and data sharing, such as servers and load balancers, as well as devices that increase network security, such as firewalls, IDP, IPD, and UTM. In sum, students will understand how complex networks use a variety of devices, each playing an important role in the functionality and security of the network.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students are presented with different ways that the Internet impacts their lives. The Internet affects the way that people communicate (emails, social media, video chat) and collaborate to solve problems. It has revolutionized the way that people can learn and even buy things. Because the Internet is present in almost every facet of people’s lives, there are severe ethical and legal concerns that derive from the Internet.
Students will be able to:
This lesson is a summative assessment of the unit’s learning objectives.
