This lesson plan teaches 4th grade students how to create and distribute surveys using Survey Monkey, analyze the survey results, and create graphs of the data using the Kidzone application. Over two days, students will work in pairs to design a survey, distribute it to classmates, analyze the results in a data table and hand-drawn graph, and create an electronic graph using Kidzone. Students' understanding will be assessed using a rubric evaluating their data tables, graph properties, and use of survey and graphing tools. The lesson aligns with Illinois technology and math standards.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Materials/Resources/Technology:
Projector or Smartboard, laptops for the class, class website, graph paper
Survey Monkey- http://www.surveymonkey.com/
Kidzone- http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createAgraph/
Implementation/Procedure:
Opening of lesson:
Say this to start. “Today we are going to learn how to use Web 2.0 application to conduct
surveys and to analyze the results in a graph or chart like we have been practicing. When
we are on our computers I expect you to only use the websites that I tell you to use.”
Procedures:
Day 1 (30 minutes)
1. Tell students “I want you each to pick a topic that you are interested in learning
more about. What is something you want to know about your neighbor?” Listen
to a couple examples from the students.
2. Demonstrate how to use survey monkey for the students before they have their
laptops, so that they will pay attention to you. You need some sort of projector or
Smartboard set up in order to allow students to see how it works. Say to
students “I am now going to show you an example of how to work survey
monkey, so that you will be able to work with your partner to come up with a
survey using this application. Please pay attention as you will be asked to work
with your partner right after. You will click “Create a free account” using school
usernames and passwords, click create survey and follow the on screen
instructions. When you are done with your survey send the link to my email
address (written on the board). After I receive all the links I will post them on
our class website where you will later go on tonight and take your classmate’s
surveys for homework. I will be walking around and helping you in anyway I can.
Does anyone have any questions before we get started?”
3. Assign partners practically (based on who works well with each other) and pass
out laptops to each group
4. Walk around and make sure everyone is on task. Assist students who have
questions about things you may have forgetting to mention.
3. Day 2 (40 minutes)
5. “All of you should have completed each other’s surveys last night for homework,
now today you will create a data table and a chart by hand, and eventually a
graph using Kidzone based on the data collected from the surveys. Go back onto
your account and check out your results. Create a table with these results so that
your information will be available to create either a pie, bar or line graph.
Remember you only have to choose one of these graphs. We learned how to
make these last week, but today you will be applying your results from your
survey to your graph.”
6. Pass out graph paper to the students and tell them, “Work with your partner to
analyze your results. Create a table of the data and then a graph by hand.” Give
students 20 minutes to create their graph by hand. Walk around and help
students create their tables and graphs.
7. Call the students attention. Then demonstrate how to use Kidzone. Say to
students, “Alright now that you have created your graph by hand, you are going
to transfer that data to a web application that creates graphs electronically. Here
is it how it works: Click on either the bar, line or pie graph, whichever one you
chose for the graph by hand, then follow the online instructions to place your
data into the computer to create your electronic graph. You can pick any of the
designs and labels and the last tab gives you the option to print and save as well
as email the graph to me. Please email your graph, as well as print it out, so that
the whole class can see the results of every survey. I will post all of the results on
the bulletin board in the back, and later on you will have an opportunity to view
each other’s graphs and find out how our class feels about each topic.”
8. Give students 20 minutes to finish their electronic graph. Once you have
received all of the graphs, post them on the bulletin board so that the students
can view each other’s results.
Closing:
Say to students, “I hope you were able to use your previous knowledge of creating graphs
in order to come up with an interesting question to ask your classmates and then were able
to analyze your results in an organized manner in order to chart your data. Remember that
survey monkey and kidzone are fun, useful tools that you can use for other class projects in
the future!”
4. Student Assessment:

5. Artifact: Lesson Plan for Web 2.0 Application
Technology Standard 3 - Application of Technology in Instruction: The competent
teacher will apply learning technologies that support instruction in his or her grade
level and subject areas. He or she must plan and deliver instructional units that
integrate a variety of software, applications, and learning tools. Lessons developed
must reflect effective grouping and assessment strategies for diverse populations.
I think this standard relates to understanding how technology can be effectively used in the
classroom. In some cases technology is used as a crutch for teachers and not as an aide in
the lesson. Teachers may just set students down at a computer and have them play a game
in order to teach them a lesson. The competent teacher knows that technology should be
used as support for students in their understanding of the lesson. Technology can also be
used a way to differentiate instruction for students who may not understand the material
as well as their peers. Technology can help that student get back to the level that they need
to be at.
The article that I chose for this was a lesson plan that contained a Web 2.0 application. I
used previous learned knowledge of charts and connected it to a Web 2.0 application that
the students could use to see and make charts in a different way. This lesson plan allowed
me to “understand how to apply learning technologies that support instruction in [my]
grade level and subject areas” because I was able to connect the application to something
that the students previously learned and that was easy for them to figure out how to
operate. Technology applications are only useful if the students understand how to work
them. Before I chose which application I wanted to use in my lesson plan I was able to
6. “explore, evaluate, and use computer/technology resources, including applications, tools,
educational software, and associated documentation” to figure out which application would
best aide my students in understand charts better. I was able to browse through the
internet for helpful resources and eventually came across an easy to use survey website, as
well as an easy to use chart making application. Through this lesson plan I was also able to
“design, implement, and assess student learning activities that integrate computers/
technology for a variety of student grouping strategies and for diverse student
populations.” Students were able to choose which chart they wanted to make, as well as
choose the topic of their survey. Students are not all interested in the same thing since they
do not all come from the same culture, so allowing them to choose from different topics
allowed them to show their diversity through technology. In my own classroom I can use
all the resources that I learned about from creating this lesson plan. I had to research a lot
of different websites to find an appropriate application to use and I noted which websites
could be beneficial in my own classroom. This will greatly help me when I am trying to find
technological applications and resources when I am making my own lesson plans in the
future.
There are so many different applications out there that can be helpful for students. They
can all be aimed toward a different type of learner. Not all students learn at the same pace
or in the same way. By using technological resources, students never have to try and learn
at the same pace or in the same way as their peers because the resources can help them
develop their knowledge in ways that are a good fit for them. Also, students who may come
from diverse backgrounds where they are not exposed to technology will find these
applications very useful. Since they may not be exposed to it at home, school is a great place
7. for students to learn how to use technology in an effective way that will help them when
they enter the real world. Teaching is all about preparing students for when they get out
into the real world and since the real world is all about technology, I feel it is absolutely
essential that technology is an avid part of my lessons.
