The students will download software applications from the OSU Software Distribution site. 4. The students will experience cloud computing concepts through Zoho and Google tools. 5.

**__Presentation of Material__**
1. Read //Computer Networking: An Introduction// at http://explainingcomputers.com/networking.html and //The Internet: An Introduction// at http://explainingcomputers.com/internet.html These two articles offer very basic information about what a computer network is and does. Take the online quiz

2. Any member of a network has certain rights and responsibilities. Here is the Acceptable Use Policy you are agreeing to follow every time you log on to a computer on the OSU network or onto your OSU accounts: http://it.okstate.edu/policies/pol_app.php Besides the assurance of safety you get with the Acceptable Use Policy, you are also entitled to a great selection of free software downloadable on the OSU network. Check out https://app.it.okstate.edu/sdc/login.php and download away!!

3. Watch the video introduction to Cloud Computing, //Cloud Computing in Plain English// at http://www.commoncraft.com/cloud-computing-video Zoho and Google both offer full suites of tools that you access through your browser, while the programs and your created documents reside on their servier -- a cloud computing environment. Take a tour of Google Docs at http://www.google.com/google-d-s/intl/en/tour1.html http://www.zoho.com/ (PASHA & TOBY - I'm not sure what you'll want to do with this part. I think if I had them f2f I would have each of them spend part of a day getting to know one of the tools and show theirs off to their classmates at the next class period. Online, though, you could do the same in the discussion board but just talk about it)

3. Peer-to-Peer Networks Is it illegal to share files (ex: movies, music) over peer-to-peer networks like Limewire? Watch this video to get lots of answers: http://www.campusdownloading.com/ On the Discussion Board, share 1 thing you learned, 1 thing that surprised you, and 1 question you still have about file sharing on P2P networks.
