Lesson #11 Personal protection and Data protection

Image
  This is our last lesson and it involves Personal Protection and Data protection . It is one of the most important issues to consider when using any kind of device. As educators we will have an important role and our knowledge on internet safety is essential. Also it must be constinously updated due to rapid changes in internet use and behaviour. Here are some guidelines to keep our navigating space safe We should always be on guard. Some elements to bear in mind are the following to keep track of the security in our devices: 1. Control measures : •Device access: Unlock code, facial recognition, visual pattern, fingerprint. •Shared data: Bluetooth, manage location •Remote in case of theft or loss •External memory 2. The importance of security patches and updates :           •Malware: Malicious program that seeks to obtain personal data and money. •Antivirus and Malware Detection Tool 3. Backups: •Use an external disk. •Through synchronized cloud storage (OneDrive, Dropbo

Lesson #9 DAY 1 PRACTICE Using Gimp and MyApps university server

We used MyApps which is a cloud that is provided by our university URJC. There are many programmes that we can use without installing them on our computer by entering the cloud and using them as remote desktop software that we can make use of from any computer. We also have 10GB storage space to save our university documents and access them remotely.

Using GIMP. What is it?

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

We had to edit several photos, change the program icon and this is the result:

Photograph #1: We wrote text, moved it, drew with pencil and paintbrush using different widths and textures, changed the colour and added a filter to the background photograph. Finally we changed the format from .xcf (GIMP's automatic format) to .jpeg. Here's the end result.

Photograph #2: Task involved selecting part of an image -separating the cat from its initial background-, inverting it so that we get the figure and not the background, copying and pasting it onto another third image. Then we moved the pasted image, changed dimensions and rotated it. This is the outcome. The cat looks as though it is flying away from the frame in a fast trip to outer space to give it a slight comical touch.

 Bye for now! See you in space :)

Lesson #8 Netiquette and Educational Comic Strips.

In this lesson we learned about the concept of Netiquette. It is the short term for "Internet etiquette ”. Netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet for emailing, social media, online chats ( Instant Messenger Services ), forums , website or news site comments , etc. There are two fundamental milestones in the history of style rules: The RFC 1855 document ( Request for Comments 1855) of 1995. This document was the first reference regarding rules of etiquette for the Internet.   NETiquette , by Virginia Shea 1994 . In 1994, Virginia Shea published this work , which has become one of the Internet classics. Core Rules of Netiquette as written by Virginia Shea can be read below. They have later been adapted to 21st century Internet use but their main principles remains valid: Rule 1: Remember the human Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online... Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace Rule 4:

Lesson #10 Programming: Scratch

Conditionals  This is a conditionals exercise I did. The two images have been put together as they were a part of the same project   This is the first example I tried to make using Scratch and conditionals.   Variables  This is an exercise I tried by myself while practising the options that were given to us in class using variables.The following images show us two different ways of making a similar sequence of orders.     Loops  First I am showing basic examples of what I tried to experiment with in class     Here is another example of making a loop in two different but very similar ways:     This one is also a trial of different characters engaging in a conversation while they also move and interact within the setting :     Another example made to count from a given number upwards with a loop and variables:   Group work project on Scratch   This is our group project with all the different elements https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/529507384 Scratch Group Project
