Women code-breakers changed the course of WWII by cracking Japanese codes that revealed the movements of people and supplies in the Pacific Islands. In this lesson, students will learn how specific information discovered led to a turning point when cryptographers were able to pinpoint the plans of the Pearl Harbor Attack’s “architect”, Admiral Yamomoto.Students will examine videos and articles to find out more about this episode in history. In pairs or small groups, they’ll look at the US Post Office’s newly revealed stamp commemorating it. They’ll identify what they think are the pros and cons of the stamp and then design their own.

Navajo Code Talkers
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

During WWII the Marines enlisted Navajo code talkers to send messages. The Navajo language is not written down and is very difficult for non-native speakers to speak and understand. The Marines started with 29 Navajo men for this project. Their code became unbreakable and fast. They could decode 3 lines of English in 20 seconds versus the normal 30 minutes.In this lesson students will hear audio of spoken Navajo language. They will make predictions on what language they think is being spoken. After learning the language they will research the Navajo code breakers. Students will then use the Navajo dictionary to practice creating and deciphering messages. Students will then be able to make connections to cybersecurity.

Who's Who of CS Match-up (1600's - 1940's)
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This is the 4th and last activity in the CS Heros Unit of Study.Students have watched a PBS CS video and read several articles about early computer science heros.  Next, they took three short (5 to 9 questions) quiz.  These math-up activites cover the computer scientists and inventors learned about (Parts 1-3) in the videos, articles, and quizzes.  When all three parts and the match-ups are complete, my students type one paragraph to be shared in a collaborative presentation. We design this together in class to highlight how these CS Heros and their inventions have helped Virginia advance and grow in technology commerce as well as contribute to the global economy.  Students make one slide with their paragraph and another with images of Virginia-based companys, technological discoveries, and/or computer scientists.  Once slides are shared to me, I add them to the presentation and we upload the presentation to our Google Classroom. We review slides over the upcoming weeks, a few slides shared each day, until all students have presented.
