      • Introduce basic coding through a game format
      • These apps use the Blockly method of coding.
      • Blocky coding is a snap together puzzle piece form of coding.
      • Have students work through Light Bot to get a basic understanding of the process.
        • Have students work work at their own pace.
        • There is music in the background use headphones or turn volume off while they work.

          • Basic Concept:
            • Ownership of intellectual property.
            • Intellectual property is the things you create (story's, art, music, ideas, etc.)

            • Each type is protected by law, however registered ones are easier to prove.
        • Why is it important to give people credit for their work?
          • Plagiarism
          • Do you want someone else to take credit for your work?
        • If you change someone else’s work without citing it, is that legal?
          • You cannot change their work without permission
          • You can create your own interpretation of it, however you need to cite the original work.
        • How do you cite your sources?
          • Citation Tools:
            • Easy Bib
            • MS Word 2013+
          • MLA & APA
    • Digital Privacy
      • What is Privacy?

        • Any personal information that the public does not have the right to know.
        • Freedom from undesired intrusion. (The American Heritage Student Dictionary)
      • How does that translate into the Digital Realm?
        • Do not post very personal information on social media.
        • Everything posted you lose all privacy, nothing is deleted and it is no longer private.
