Assignment

The school librarian will give a short presentation about research and using databases. I have marked which topics require database research, internet research or both.

Note almost each set of slides requires database research. Accessing the school's research database is explained at the top of this page.

In a 15 minute (max) presentation using Google Slides, report on the following:

• Outline strategies to reduce the impact of computers and related technologies on the environment. (Database or Internet)
  • Create a slide that you would like to see displayed on the school's broadcast system.
    • (1 slide)
  • Explain the construction of your slide. Your slide must be an original creation.
    • (1-2 slides)
• Investigate and report on governmental and community initiatives that encourage environmental stewardship and promote programs and practices that support sustainability. (Database or Internet)
  • (5 slides)
• Investigate and analyse an ethical issue related to the use of computers. (Database or Internet)
  • (5 slides)
• Describe the essential elements of a code of ethics for computer programmers (e.g., ACM [Association for Computing Machinery] and IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] standards) and explain why there is a need for such a code. (Internet)
  • (5 slides)
• Outline and apply strategies to encourage ethical computing practices at home and at school. (Database or Internet)
  • Create a slide that you would like to see displayed on the school's broadcast system.
    • (1 slide)
  • Explain the construction of your slide. Your slide must be an original creation.
    • (1-2 slides)
  • Do this for each location (home and school).
• Investigate an emerging technology in computer science. (Database)
  • (5 slides)
• Report on some areas of collaborative research between computer science and other fields (e.g., bioinformatics, geology, economics, linguistics, health informatics, climatology, sociology, art), on the basis of information found in industry publications (e.g., from the ACM and IEEE). (Database)
  • (5 slides)
• Investigate a topic in theoretical computer science (e.g., cryptography, graph theory, logic, computability theory, attribute grammar, automata theory, data mining, artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision, image processing). (Database)
  • (5 slides)
• Research and describe careers associated with computer studies (e.g., computer scientist, software engineer, systems analyst). (Internet)
  • (5 slides maximum)
• Evaluate your Essential Skills and work habits that are important for success in computer studies, as identified in the Ontario Skills Passport. (Internet)
  • (4 slides maximum)

The rubric is located in the ICS Files section. On the first day of presentations, at the beginning of class, all sides will be collected immediately.
