Teaching Impacts of Technology: Data Collection, Use, and Privacy

3 個評分

課程 2（共 6 門，Specialization Teaching Impacts of Technology in K-12 Education）

In this course you’ll focus on how constant data collection and big data analysis have impacted us, exploring the interplay between using your data and protecting it, as well as thinking about what it could do for you in the future. This will be done through a series of paired teaching sections, exploring a specific “Impact of Computing” in your typical day and the “Technologies and Computing Concepts” that enable that impact, all at a K12-appropriate level. This course is part of a larger Specialization through which you’ll learn impacts of computing concepts you need to know, organized into 5 distinct digital “worlds”, as well as learn pedagogical techniques and evaluate lesson plans and resources to utilize in your classroom. By the end, you’ll be prepared to teach pre-college learners to be both savvy and effective participants in their digital world. In this particular digital world (personal data), you’ll explore the following Impacts & Technology pairs -- Impacts (Show me what I want to see!): Internet Privacy, Custom Ads, Personalization of web pages Technologies and Computing Concepts: Cookies, Web vs Internet, https, Web Servers Impacts (Use my data…. But protect it!): Common Cybersecurity knowledge levels, ISP data collection, Internet design, finding out what is known about you online, software terms and services Technology and Computing Concepts: DNS, Cryptography (ciphers, hashing, encryption, SSL), Deep and Dark Web Impacts (What could my data do for me in the future?): What is Big Data, Machine Learning finds new music, Wearable technologies. Technology and Computing Concepts: AI vs ML, Supervised vs Unsupervised learning, Neural Networks, Recommender systems, Speech recognition In the pedagogy section for this course, in which best practices for teaching computing concepts are explored, you’ll learn how to apply Bloom’s taxonomy to create meaningful CS learning objectives, the importance of retrieval-based learning, to build learning activities with online simulators, and how to use “fun” books to teach computing. In terms of CSTA K-12 computer science standards, we’ll primarily cover learning objectives within the “impacts of computing” concept, while also including some within the “networks and the Internet” concepts and the “data and analysis” concept. Practices we cover include “fostering and inclusive computing culture”, “recognizing and defining computational problems”, and “communicating about computing”.

Course Orientation

Welcome! Are you interested in teaching about the impacts of your personal data in the digital world? To learn more about the computation and computing concepts that underlie the technologies using that data? We'll be using a problem-based approach to explore interesting ways to teach concepts of networks and the internet, data and analysis, and even algorithms and data representation. Finally, we'll read a chapter from a children's fiction book -- "The Secret Code Menace" and identify some computer science learning outcomes for that chapter.

與講師見面

Beth Simon
Teaching Professor
Education Studies

Welcome to teaching impacts of technology,

data collection, use and privacy.

My name is Beth Simon and I'm a Computer Scientist,

an Educator and a Professor in Education Studies Department here at UC San Diego.

Before I tell you any more about me or this class,

let me introduce you to a colleague.

This is Art Lopez and I got to know Art maybe around

10 years ago because one of his students came up

to him at his school where he teaches now and said,

"Mr. Lopez, how come we don't have

any computer science classes like kids in other school districts do?"

And he thought, "That's a really good question.

I need to look into that. "

And what that led to it was a great collaboration where Arts started working with

us in our efforts to bring

professional development to help teachers who've been trained in other subjects,

learn to teach computer science in the ways that we think all kids need to know computer.

And Arts' been pretty successful.

Here in his district,

Sweetwater Union High School District,

which is just South of San Diego and just North of the border with Mexico,

10 years later, they now have

computer science courses in every high school in the district.

And that is making an immense change in the lives of the students there,

in terms of their careers and how we understand that

computer science and computing really impacts our lives every day.

And that got me really involved in

this movement which is popular in the United States right now called CS for All,

which is the picture of my laptop

which it's pride of place I only have one sticker there.

I do believe like many people around the nation and around the world that

computer science and computational thinking are things that every student,

every kid, every citizen needs to know,

in the same way that we believe they all need to know reading, writing, and arithmetic.

But it's a real challenge to get enough teachers

prepared and capable of teaching the kids the computing that we need,

and that is part of the goal of this class.

In this course, we'll be particularly looking at the impacts of computing on our culture,

our social interactions, and safety, law and ethics.

You might be familiar with this purple diagram,

it comes from a set of standards that were recently

produced by an international association called CSTEACHERS.ORG.

Now we know that whatever country or state you're in might have

different standards but a lot of them are related to these.

So, we'll use those as a grounding.

But how are we going to look at impacts of computing?

We're going to be taking a very problem-based approach.

I mean we're talking about impacts of computing on our lives,

so let's use our lives as a place to start.

Depending on where you live,

you may experience online shopping every day in your life.

So, one of the things that we'll look at first is,

how in the world does Amazon know what they should recommend that I might want to buy?

We'll be digging into that and many other things but in this particular case,

we want to look at how we can be able to figure that out.

That will lead us to the new area of machine learning,

and you will actually get the opportunity to

train a classifying machine learning algorithm yourself,

so that it can recognize three different poses of you.

Now don't worry, it's not hard.

I promise you it can't be bad, it involves kittens.

As you will now see,

we don't just cover the impacts of computing on culture,

society, et cetera in this class,

but the fact that we're looking at those impacts and

the things that we use technology for everyday,

we will then take those technologies and use that as

an excuse to dig down into more fundamental computer science concepts.

That's going to include things about networks in the internet,

it's going to include things about data and analysis,

and even some about sometimes about algorithms,

and programming, and computing systems.

Then, we'll go into and learn about a little bit about pedagogy.

I knew that as practicing teachers or

those of you who are practicing teachers you may know a lot about this,

but I will use this as an excuse to share with you some of

the most recent research that might be applicable in your classroom.

In this course, we're particularly going to be looking at retrieval practice.

This has been studied for a while but

recently a lot of new research has come out about how amazingly

effective it is to have students practice for treating

their knowledge through a test type scenario versus restudying.

We'll also, of course,

be giving you time to look at and explore lesson plans and resources

that you can use to help teach your

students the scene concepts that you learned about in this course.

This one particularly will be having you look at TED talks as a source

for getting students to look at

the potential future impacts of technology on our society,

and we'll get to actually read the first chapter in a book called The Secret Code Menace.

This is a book for young adults that actually helps teach them

some basic computer science concepts while they're getting to read a fun book.

So, if you're interested

in learning and learning how to teach about how our data is collected,

used, and what privacy implications we have,

then I hope you'll join us in this course and in this specialization.
