Description
Lesson Objectives
Students will:
• understand the term peer-to-peer networking (P2P)
• understand the security risks associated with P2P networks
• share the knowledge about P2P networks and their security risks with others
Unit - Grade 8: Cyber Security
Students review what they already know and understand about malware. They examine cyber security issues ranging from a personal to national level. Students create and publish a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to inform others of the steps to prevent cyber security issues. Students accurately use domain-specific words and phrases in their PSA.
Lesson - Security Risks of P2P File Sharing
Students come to understand that peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and file-sharing technologies pose security risks. They discuss examples of P2P networks, identify security risks and determine ways to prevent security issues.

Downloading music from the Internet became popular when millions first used Napster to download their
favorite songs rather than trekking to a store to buy the CD. Although Napster has now transitioned to a legal
download service, most peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are primarily used to illegally download music, movies,
and software.

The computer has become a powerful tool for use by anyone. The Internet has opened new boundaries and
frontiers. Communication, expression of ideas, information, all are available nearly instantaneously. However,
as you can imagine, such a powerful tool can be used for bad things too. Computers can be vulnerable
to viruses, worms, Trojans, hacking, etc. As Americans rely more and more on computers the possibilities
and opportunities for abuse abound.

Do you know that you can do your part to protect your country? Protection against a cyber terrorist attack
begins at home. Ensuring that your personal computer is secure could play a crucial role in protecting the
national Internet infrastructure. Attacks of all kinds can take advantage of home computers. Denial of service,
virus and worms, all make use of the home computer and can cause untold damage and downtime nationally.
However, by taking a few simple steps average home computer users (meaning you) can have safe, protected

The government has taken many steps to protect our country against future terrorist attacks. At airports
there is extra security. News stations monitor our safety status. However, what have they done to protect our
computers from a cyber attack? The government protection plan takes several different formats, and extends
beyond just prevention to proactive strategies for minimizing damage from cyber attacks.

Student Handout - Worksheet: The Influential Power of Media
Students come to understand that media has the power to change perceptions and behavior. They examine the influence of the media in history and on modern culture. Students identify ways to effectively use media in order to address issues that matter to them.
Putting it Together
What is media in this day and age? Media is so many things. It has evolved from its beginning as print materials
to being Web sites, podcasts, television commercials, movies, billboards, blogs, brochures, radio, and more.
We are surrounded with media everyday. With so much media around us, it makes sense that there’s a need to
be “literate” in understanding, analyzing and even creating it.
Students come to understand that media literacy is an integral aspect of digital citizenship. They learn that media literacy enables them to identify propaganda, censorship and bias. Students define media literacy, give examples of media-based propaganda and biased viewpoints, discuss the role of media in the modern world, and conclude the importance of media literacy in today's society.
