1. Practice PT - Big Data and Cybersecurity Dilemmas
Lesson 4-9 – AP Computer Science Principles

2. Objectives Students will be able to:
Identify reliable and authoritative sources of information about a computing information.
Synthesize information taken from multiple online sources to create a cohesive description of a computing innovation.
Identify an artifact that clarifies an aspect of a computing topic not easily captured in writing.
Explain both the beneficial and harmful effects related to a modern social dilemma in computing

3. Practice PT
At the end of the year you will need to complete the Explore Performance Task. The project we’re about to do asks you to conduct research on a big data or cybersecurity dilemma and present your findings both visually and in writing.

4. Practice PT
Thus, to conclude our study of Big Data and Cybersecurity you will be completing a practice Performance Task on a topic of your choosing. Hopefully this will be an enjoyable opportunity to dig deeper on a topic that piqued your interest over the last few weeks, and it will of course be useful preparation for the Explore Performance Task, which you’ll do at the end of the year.

5. Stage 9 Go to stage 9 in code studio and read the introduction
Open the attached file and click on “File -> Make a copy”
Read through the document. Understand the requirements. Read to rubric (it is very similar to the Explore PT rubric).

6. Plan Today: Review Project Guidelines and Rubric
Select a big data or cybersecurity dilemma to research
Identify online sources of information using the Research Guide

7. Next Time (due at the end of class):
First half of class:
Continue to record findings in the Research Guide
Identify potential artifacts to include
Begin writing written responses
Second half of class:
Complete any remaining research to answer questions
Select and make any necessary edits to artifacts
Complete written responses
