Digital Image year 24-25

After getting your blog ready, the new content is about the basics of Digital Image...


Download here the unit we are going to work with in class:  theme1. Digital Image I

Here you can find the second unit: Digital Image II
To download the program you have to visit the Oficial Gimp site

project 03.- Be sure you understand all the properties of the digital image and build a chart to represent all properties clear and visual...

An example can be a table with every charactiristic, a definition and an example of value and unit.

First part of the project: Publish  your work in a new blog article with the title: Digital image proporties and some labels to find the article easyly ... and upload the mind map with a pdf format in your virtual space task.

Second part of the project: Meaningful question of the content you have leartn. Publish this question in a nice way on the same article. 

Visit later some of your classmates blogs to read and comment their meaningful questions.

👉Deadline for the project03: Wednesday 27th November👈

Digital Security. Project 2

 

Part1:

Publish two blog articles with complete information about two different security issues (below you have several situations to analize and solve, chosse two). 

Each of the articles has to contain:

• The problem description. The name and definition of the item, 
• Good links to find information about the problem and solution
• Five good tips to avoid or solve the problem
• A form to collect votes about the best tip you have given
• A chart that shows the online results of the form
• Include labels on the articles (security, cyber security,forms, chart, excel)

Then include on the article the form to collect votes about your tips and a chart to show the results online

Allow comments on the two articles too,

Part2: Visit your classmates blogs, read the tips and vote for one

            Write a comment about the tips, the form and how the chart shows or not the online results

CHOOSE TWO OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS TO DO THE PROJECT

1. I have recently received emails and instant messages that look legitimate at first glance. These messages come with URLs that prompt you to input your personal information. In turn, I think It will steal my credentials and use them to access my accounts and personal data.
2. I think my telephone has a type of malicious software that makes me believe that my cell has a virus. Sometimes, it will fool me into believing that my security measures are old. In turn, they offer new updates for my security settings. So I do not know what to do… 
3. I have opened an email sent by a friend and clicked on a link that looked legitimate and harmless. Once i opened the attachment, it automatically downloads software to my computer. I do not know what has happened and how to fix it
4. I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?.... 
5. My mobile phone is asking me to install my operating system update but I do not feel like to do so… Do you think it is really important to update it, why?
6. My brother always uses public conections, like public libraries or cultural centers, to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…
7. I like online games and spend all my spare time playing on the computer and phone. I even prefer playing over going out with family or friends. My parents are all time telling me to organize better my time but I think it is my hobby and does no harm on me…. What do you think and why….

    overflow-y: hidden;
    overflow-x: auto;
    scroll-behavior: smooth;
} 
  
 .table thead {
    display: table-header-group;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-color: inherit;
    color: white;
    background: darkcyan;
}
  
tr {
    display: table-row;
    vertical-align: inherit;
    border-color: inherit;
}
  
 table th {
    padding: 16px;
    text-align: inherit;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
   color:white!important;
}
  
  tbody {
    display: table-row-group;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-color: inherit;
}
  
 table:not(.tr-caption-container) {
    min-width: 100%;
    border-radius: 3px;
}
</style>

And here you have the result. With this you may adapt the information inside, using the blog html tool

Presenting the project: Scientific Poster

 

It is the moment to present your project. It is very common to use a poster with all the details to explain the whole project.

📐Some help to do the Poster with MS office PowerPoint 365:

Steps: 

1. Prepare all information you are going to include on your poster: theoretical fundaments, charts, pictures, graphs, text (tittle, objective of the work, process, conclusions) 
2. Include the basic paragraphs of a scientific poster [ content 👇]
3. You can use PowerPoint templates from this website  or this another one 

👉Here you have the content

Introduction:

    Explain first what is the objective of the work: Figure out the coefficient of friction between to srufaces using experimental measurements with the mobile accelerometer... 

    Explain what the activity is about: Use the inclined plane to produce the movement and take measures of accelaration, angles… 

        Describe the process you have followed and all the programs (Phyphox, excel) you have used to do it..

    Find information and explain briefly about the main concepts you are going to work with:  Newton´s second law, coefficient of kinetic and static friction, incline plane movement, acceleration, mobile accelerometer,...

Research:

• Show here the whole process step by step, showing the mobile data, the excel graphs, the explanation of everything you have found… The table of data...
• Describe the experiments
• You can include here information about the Charts, how to find the relevant information, the experimental measures you have taken… 

Conclusions:

• Analyze the results and draw conclusions 
• Discuss the results, possible mistakes, ...
• Explain what you have found using the researching work and discuss if it is what you expected…
• Do a proposal for another researching work to go further or redesign the experiment if you think that could be better …
