Cool..

or not… too cool?

The specific activity was organized by the Greek Ministry of Education in cooperation with ADAE (Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy, link: www.adae.gr) in the ground floor of the Ministry’s Headquarters. It was carried out in 2 main parts.In the first part, after the welcoming of ours, a computers’ specialist introduced the students to the world of computers through a brief but very vivid historical flashback (1st attested pc in history, evolution, shapes, capacities, uses, etc). In part 2, the second lecturer talked specifically about internet: safe access, users’ rights when surfing online, pros and cons of its use, mine traps and ways to get pro-tected on time, etc. Urged them to run a certain .exe file on their laptops – containing a hidden virus – and letthem try to cope with the chaos it caused, before helping them out.

Both parts were a mixture of presentation, discussion, videos and activities (with the useof the laptops available and the smart board) during which the students activelyparticipated and had fun.
