  2. Your task • Over the next 3 lesson you will be creating, editing and presenting mini movies about a topic relating to the ethical, environmental and legal issues with computing. • Each group will be given a different issue and will create a short movie between 1 and 3 minutes long to explain their topic. The target audience is other GCSE students

  3. This lesson • This is your research lesson. You must fully research the topic you have been given and plan how your movie will take shape. • You could • Use a series of still images • Edit different movie clips together • Create a full storyline

  4. Roles • Split your group into 4 • 2 researchers – You need to research the topic and feedback to your group about the content that you need to include • 1 director – You need to lead to group, plan how the movie will take shape and produce a storyboard • 1 producer – You need to think creatively to bring the research and the concept together. You can decide who will act/speak/record later.

  5. By the end of the lesson • You must have • Researchers • Researched the topic fully and produced fact sheet • Director/Producer • Created a storyboard of ideas

  6. Movie Checklist • Clear storyboard • Informative to GCSE students • Props? • Location? • Actors? • Storyline? • Editing?

  8. Ethics • Ethics relates to what is right and what is wrong. • Think of 1 rule that EVERY user of a computer system should stick to. • Share with the class

  9. Ethics • IT systems store vast amounts of data about individuals. • If this data is not correct then there may be serious consequences: • If credit information is incorrect, then there may be problems obtaining a mortgage or bank account. • If an individual is associated incorrectly with a crime, then obtaining employment may be impossible.

  10. Ethics If data is lost or stolen then there may well be issues with identity theft: • Following a security breach at an American data broker in 2005, a Connecticut salesman had his identity stolen. The thief bought cars, motorcycles, furniture and other items under the salesman’s name over four months, spending $265,000. • The victim has spent over 2,000 hours trying to reclaim his life after having his identity stolen. • There are around 10 million cases of identity theft in the USA every year.

  11. Types of Standards • Proprietary • Industry • De Facto • Open

  12. Proprietary • These are standards owned by an organisation. • They ensure compatibility between the company’s products. They can also be used to exclude others from competing with rival products. • For example, Apple computers lock users into using Apple software.

  13. Industry • Some standards are agreed across the computing industry, many of which relate to hardware.

  14. De Facto “in practice but not necessarily ordained by law” • Some standards develop through common usage until they become accepted as standard.

  15. De Facto • HTML started life as a De Facto standard and as it gained in popularity, it eventually become a rule in all web development. • Microsoft Word is a proprietary standard, however it has started to become a De Facto standard for supplying Word Processed documents. Now all word processed documents need to be able to write and read doc file.

  16. Open Standards • Open standards are publicly available standards that are often agreed by a group of collaborators and are not for profit. • In the case of Open Source Software, the Source Code is available in the public domain, so anyone with the time and expertise can make changes. • Usually the software produced is updated by a community of developers therefore updates are often regularly available for free and problems are fixed quicker.

  17. Open Standards • Some of the most important computer standards include • The World Wide Web • C# programming language • Mozilla Firefox • Linux • Python programming language
