Basic 8 Computing Term 1 Week 7 Lesson Plan

phase1_starter (5mins) Revise with learners to review their understanding in the previous lesson.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Mobile phone; Sample Ghana Card; Printed screenshots of Ghanaian online services. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below.

Reflection (10mins) Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson.

Identity Theft Identity theft can also be known as identity fraud, which is a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of personally identifiable information, such as Social Security or driver's license numbers, in order to impersonate someone else for financial or legal purposes. Some ways that identity can be stolen are listed below - Stealing your mail - Looking for personal documents in your trash - Tampering with ATMs or card machines in shops to steal your banking information - Taking personal information through public sources (e.g. phone books and social media) Network Security Network security is any activity designed to protect the usability and integrity of your network and data. There are many types of network securities that are available to us such as: Access control, Firewalls, and VPN which most of us are quite familiar with. - Access Control: There is a process called network access control, which allows users to keep out potential attackers. In order to keep out potential attackers, it is necessary to recognize each user and each device. - Firewalls: Firewalls put up a barrier between your trusted internal network and untrusted outside networks, such as the internet. A firewall can be hardware, software, or both. - VPN: VPN stands for a virtual private network. A VPN encrypts the connection from an endpoint to a network, often over the internet. Typically, a remote-access VPN uses IPsec or Secure Sockets Layer to authenticate the communication between device and network Assessment 1. Why do people use simple passwords that can easily be guessed? 2. Why is it good to use a different password for each website? 3. What are some ways that your identity can be stolen? 4. How does a firewall protect your computer? Evaluate issues that are associated with online service delivery
