Big Idea 1: Creative Development
This is the smallest unit of data in a computer and can represent a 0 or a 1.
What is a bit?
This ensures that no single point of failure will bring down the entire internet, even if parts of it go offline.
What is redundancy/ fault-tolerancy?
This is a step-by-step set of instructions for solving a problem or performing a task.
What is an algorithm?
This type of data consists of numbers that can be measured or counted.
What is quantitative data?
This is the practice of designing technology products and services so that people with disabilities can use them effectively.
What is accessibility?
This numbering system is used by computers to represent all data using only two digits.
What is binary?
This number would be represented as 1101101 in binary.
What is 109?
This programming structure allows a program to repeat a block of code multiple times.
What is a loop?
This process involves examining data to find patterns, trends, or relationships.
What is data analysis?
This is the environmental effects caused by manufacturing, using, and disposing of technology.
What is a carbon footprint?
This is the process of reducing the number of bits needed to store or transmit data, often categorized as lossless or lossy.
What is data compression?
This term refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time.
What is bandwidth?
This programming structure allows a program to make decisions and choose different actions based on conditions.
What is a conditional (or if-else) statement?
This is any situation where personal information is accessed, disclosed, or used in a way that breaches an individual's privacy rights.
What is a privacy violation?
This term describes the gap between people who have easy access to computers and the internet and those who do not.
What is the digital divide?
This is the minimum number of bits needed to represent the number 1000.
What is 10 bits?
This version of the Internet Protocol allows for trillions of unique addresses and was developed to replace the older IPv4.
What is IPv6?
This allows programmers to use a block of code without knowing how it works.
What is procedural abstraction?
This protocol makes sure that data is broken into packets and reassembled in the correct order at the destination.
What is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?
This type of encryption uses the same key for both encrypting and decrypting information and requires the key to be kept secret.
What is symmetric/ private-key encryption?
This is the process of reducing complexity by focusing on essential details while hiding irrelevant information, simplifying and organizing complex information to make it easier to understand and work with.
What is abstraction?
This type of cyber attack floods a website or server with requests in an attempt to overwhelm it and shut it down.
What is a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack?
These allow programmers to avoid rewriting the same code by reusing blocks of code with different inputs, simplifying their program.
What are parameters?
These are rules for how personal data can be collected, stored, and shared to protect individuals’ privacy.
What are data privacy regulations/ data protection laws?
In asymmetric encryption, this key is shared publicly and is used to encrypt data, while only the owner has the key to decrypt it.
What is a public key?
