I can understand and agree to abide by the Computer Lab and Internet Usage Policy for the Center for Computer Studies measured by the returned signature page bearing my and my parents’ or guardian’s signatures, so that the classroom and network remains a safe and secure place for us to work, learn and play.
By now, you’ve been using computers in school long enough that you should have a pretty good handle on what is an acceptable use of computer equipment and the Internet, and what isn’t acceptable. Today’s presentation will eliminate any doubt or confusion as to what is and isn’t acceptable here in the lab.
Watch the Usage Policy Presentation along with me, and feel free to ask any questions you may have on the policy.
This policy is also outlined on the Plan for Success that you will receive today. Please read the Plan for Success, and sign on the last two pages to confirm that you agree to abide by the policies, then take it home and show it to your parents/guardians, and have them sign to confirm that they understand and agree to the policy. Please return the document with all required signatures to me by Monday, August 11th.
The policies make sure that this room remains a clean and functional place for everyone to live and learn in. We can’t get much accomplished in here unless everyone can agree to abide by them. If you can live with that, then we can move on to learning the good stuff.
I can introduce myself to the instructor and the other students in the classroom by completing an icebreaker activity to help build a fun and collaborative working environment.

Welcome to my classroom website for AP Cybersecurity! This website will be your one-stop shop for all classroom assignments, announcements and materials pertaining to the class.
Today we’re going to do one of those “getting to know you” activities. I know, you’re probably going to do something like this in every class today. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make it fun.
Use the provided materials to make a tri-fold “Name Tag” that will help me learn your name.
Let’s play “Two Truths and a Lie!” On the back of your name tag, write three complete sentences about yourself: Two of which are true, and one that is a complete lie!
We’re going to go around the room and give each class member a chance to introduce themselves, and share their Two Truths and a Lie, then the rest of the class and I will try to guess which of the statements is the lie! Don’t make it too obvious or easy! Stump me if you can!
I can prepare for success in the class by familiarizing myself with the classroom and introducing myself to the instructor and the other students in the classroom so I can more efficiently and effectively complete class activities and assignments.

Welcome to my classroom website for AP Cybersecurity! Frankly, I’m surprised you’re here – I’m not going to introduce this website to the rest of the class for another couple of days. I guess until then, it’ll be our little secret. This website will be your one-stop shop for all classroom assignments, announcements and materials pertaining to the class.
Take a look around! I’ll explain everything here very soon.
Tomorrow we’re going to do one of those “getting to know you” activities. I know, you’re probably going to do something like this in every class for the next few days. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make it fun.
The fact that you even found this site shows you have a remarkably inquisitive and adventurous personality. Those qualities will serve you well here. When you meet me, mention the secret word: “Steganography“, and I’ll give you a prize. Don’t tell anyone else! It’s a secret to everybody.

Begin reading the 1.3.1 – Copper Cables.pptx presentation on the Google Classroom. This lesson will introduce you to different types of copper cables and their standard characteristics.
Next, visit the How to Make a Network Cable: link at https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Network-Cable for instructions on how to build a Cat5e cable to the EIA/TIA 568A or 568B spec. Read through the instructions completely before proceeding. Pay particular notice to the difference between a “passthrough” cable and a “crossover” cable.
Visit the rolling cart to pick up your tools and materials. You will need a arm’s length of Cat5e cable, two RJ-45 cable ends, and a crimper tool.
Follow the instructions to build your passthrough patch cable.
Once you have your passthrough cable built, test it using the provided cable tester. If your cable test is successful, you may proceed to build a “crossover” cable for extra credit.
Use clear tape and a marker to label your cables with your name and what type of cable it is (passthrough or crossover), and place it in the wire basket on the front table in the room.
Once they are graded, you are free to take your Cat5e cable home for your own use. Cables left behind will be deployed within the department.
