Lesson Plan

Overview

Students will listen to a short presentation about three of the six cybersecurity hand concepts. Students will then be introduced to the micro:bit through video and live demonstrations. and then we will move to the make code website.

PRE/POST-TEST

What is cybersecurity?

OBJECTIVES

Evaluate social networking sites and other online activity,

CATCH/HOOK

Make the topic relatable by telling students where they expose themselves digitally on a daily basis.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS

The students and I will go through a few micro:bit tutorials together. “Rock, Paper, Scissors” is the first tutorial. If we have time to complete another one we will move to getting our micro:bits to communicate.
