As a large percentage of Computer Applications I students will be out of class today, attending the TSA State Conference and the Fort Sill field trip, we will be adapting the lesson plans. Rather than covering new information on databases today, we will continue watching and discussing the movie Eagle Eye. Please pay close attention to the things in the movie we have learned about in class. These include, databases, artificial intelligence, and smart phones. This movie depicts concerns about data security, smart phone security, and wholly independent artificial intelligence. What could you do to make sure the scenario presented in the movie never happens?

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

Today, we will watch Eagle Eye and write an essay about how the movie affected your view of the safest smart phone on the market. Please write a 150-word minimum essay in Microsoft Word or Google Docs and submit via email no later than the beginning of class tomorrow, Wednesday, April 11, 2018.

Tomorrow, we will resume our study of databases.
