Rationale This lesson introduces students to the importance of securing data and
maintaining their integrity. Students will individually research different
measures to secure data and maintain data integrity.

Previous Knowledge Students should know what data and information. They should know what
viruses are. They should be able to work in groups.

Duration of Lesson 1 hours

Materials/Specialized Instructional Aids:
Equipment Needed ● Desktop, Laptop, Mobile phone or any computer devices that
promotes data integrity.

Materials Needed:
● Each student will need access to a computer device or any private
materials they want to secure
Equipment Needed:
● The instructor will need a computer connected to an interactive
white board or projector
● Multimedia; laptop; ActivitySheets.

● Students with a visual learning style would be separated also and

provided with a youtube video to further engage them in learning
about data integrity in hopes to meet the objectives of the lesson

knowledge)
As a class, students can brainstorm about current technology, and its
origins, as well as discuss how the growth and evolution of technology has
and will impact the industry regarding method in ensuring data integrity

Additionally, a youtube video will be displayed

NOTE: For this lesson, the teacher will refer to the Teacher’s Directions
when introducing and completing the lesson with the students.
Guided Practice
Method and procedure *

Independent
Students will be provided with three different activities throughout the
Practice/Laboratory
lesson to ensure all objectives are met for data integrity measures.
Experience/Differentiate
d Activities *
Lesson Closure - Students will explain verbally in a discussion which would

emphasize the importance of securing data to ensure its integrity

- Students will take all the introduced information from the lesson
and use it to complete the Assessment.
- For students having a visual learning differentiated learning style
would use the video and PowerPoint provided to explore and meet
the lessons objectives.
- A quick Q&A with regards to the parameters of the assignment may
be used to check for understanding

Summative/End of Informal Assessment

Lesson Assessment *
Periodic checks for understanding are used as well as progress checks to
quantify the amount of research done and information gathered for the
completion of the spreadsheet material provided.
Formal Assessment
The project will be completed individually to check for understanding and
graded against the provided assessment task. Class evaluation and
discussion will also be used to allow students to compare their findings
against those of their peers.
