TECHNODETECTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

Computer Camp Lesson Plans

Teacher Guide - Resource Files

Become a detective. Students follow the detailed computer lesson plans to catch the crooks.

The lesson plans are divided into four parts:

  • Create a Badge
  • On the Case
  • Stolen Bits and Bytes
  • Undercover Investigation

 

Part 1: Create a Badge

To get access to private information, the "techno" detectives need official looking identification.

Follow the detailed instructions to make a badge using Microsoft Word. Have fun using shapes, WordArt, and clip art.

Part 2: On the Case

The "techno" detectives are assigned cases they must solve, including Bubble Trouble, Jewel Thief, and Honda Civic Crime Ring.

Follow the instructions to use the TechnoDetective database. Students learn how to narrow down the list of possible suspects by filtering the records in the database using clues. Afterwards, they book a suspect by adding a record into the TechnoDetective database.


A record from the TechnoDetective database.

Part 3: Stolen Bits and Bytes

The "techno" detectives are assigned to the Case of the Stolen Bits and Bytes:

Someone is using the Internet to break into people's computers and steal their files. Bits and bytes of data are missing from the hard drives of major corporations. Who would be taking this information and why?

This case requires that the "techno" detectives go undercover, which means limited contact with headquarters. To prepare for this assignment, students generate a query and print a report about computer-related crimes using the TechnoDetective database. This information gives the detectives some tips on who they should be watching during the investigation.

Part 4: Undercover Investigation

The "techno" detectives go undercover. They take a job at International Computers Inc. Working with a small team of detectives, they are given clues to narrow down the list of suspects.

TechnoDetective Clue
This clue tells whether the suspect is male or female.

Once students solve the case, they must report to headquarters about the breakthrough in the investigation by sending a message. This top secret notice is created using Microsoft Word.
