In this text, you will see information literacy examined from the perspective of students in the School of Education and the School of Information at the University of Michigan. The diversity of these perspectives contribute to new understandings and realizations as their divergent backgrounds, experiences, aspirations, and influences, both in libraries and 'in the wild', are examined in common. Their findings lend a fresh perspective to the existing body of literature on information literacy.

Simply put, this is one of my most favorite topics when it comes to talking about computers. In this video we layout the order of this lesson, as well as give basic definitions of:
•Machine-Level Security
•Network Security
•Internet Security
•Social Engineering

The act of physically protecting the computers. The first rule of any type of computer safety is restricting physical access to it. If a bad guy can get their hands on the computer assume they will be able to gain access to all data contained within.

Our third video in our Information Security series (part of the Introduction to Computer course) focuses on Authentication. Authentication is basically proving you are who you say you are

There are three forms of authentication
•Something you know
•Something you have
•Something about you

This video focuses on date protection. We look at how to migrate your data from old to new devices, the importance of data backup AND how to make sure no one can steal your data off a discarded hard drive.

Data is always priceless

Three topics:
-Data migration
-Data backup
-Data disposal

Steps taken to protect computer networks. We cover permissions, user policies (especially how they can get you fired), expectations of privacy, and wireless security.

Our 6 video in the Information Security series (part of Introduction to Computers). We introduce students to the concept of Internet Security.

Specifically we look at defining the players: hackers, crackers, and script kiddies. We also look at steps the home user should take to harden the computer: keep their computer updates, run anti-malware software, and have a firewall.

Video 7 of our information security series (part of Introduction to Computers) we examine malware. Malware is a blanket term that means malicious code, it includes things like viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware.

Our last video in the Information Security lesson covers my favorite topic, social engineering. In this video we look at: Dumpster Diving, Shoulder Surfing, Tailgating, and Spam & Phishing.

I also tell the story about how I used tailgating to get access to a classroom at the FBI Academy.

The first video in the Internet series of videos supporting the Introduction to Computers and BCIS series.

In this video we talk about what is a computer network and how that relates to the Internet. We also talk about some of the basic types of network hardware we need to make a network as well as the difference between a LAN and WAN.

If you have no background in networking this is the video to start with before you go any further into the Internet series.

We love our definitions and in this video we define what the Internet is. We take a quick look at how the Internet got its start. Finally we look at how to get on the Internet, how to pick the right ISP and check to see how fast you are surfing.

Because the World Wide Web is such an important part of the Internet it gets a two part video. In this part we look at the history of the World Wide Web, as well as what the web is, and Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP).

In part we examine:
*Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
*Dynamic Name Server (DNS)
*Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

We continue our look at the World Wide Web. in the previous video we looked the history of the web, as well as what Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) was.

In this video we complete our look at the WWW and cover:
*Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
*Dynamic Name Server (DNS)
*Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

The final video in our series on the Internet. In this one we look at what is cloud computing as well as some example of how cloud computing makes your life so much cooler.

We also present our top website to check out.

In this interactive lesson, students consider the issue of internet privacy, both in their own lives and in society, including government spying, parental monitoring, and corporate tracking of consumers. What is the connection and potential conflict between safety and privacy, both on a personal and institutional level?

Being able to conduct productive job searches is key to finding employment opportunities. Digital literacy is also a necessity for gaining employment. That’s why this course aims to provide adult basic education participants the ability to self-navigate the internet to search for relevant, reliable search results. Participants will be able to demonstrate how this increased digital literacy related to internet searching can help them successfully find relevant job opportunities.

I created a series of lessons that culminate in a student created document of themselves to post in the classroom (mini poster). The lessons focus on student interaction, dictation, grammar, writing, editing, typing and other digital literacy skills. This is more like a project that is broken down into lessons.

Students learn how to use Google Slides to make a simple presentation about a career they have researched on www.mynextmove.org.

Lesson designed for use in a one-room schoolhouse ABE/GED program, where volunteer tutors and instructors work with students one-to-one.
