This is great idea I will try it myself next week.

Would you be willing to post one or two of your kids responses?

Thanks

Just tried something out of the blue with my ITApps kids..
Faked a system server virus attack and told them with a straight face! 
After getting a buzz from the look on their faces..told them it was a
simulated disaster and that they had to write up a recovery strategy! 
This little impromptu exercise proved to be a fabbo learning exercise
and they were into it!
Here's the cool part...they thought I was serious!
Try it on your class and watch the reaction they give, but give 'em no
clues that you are about to do it. It's a great way to find out if they
have listened to you.
Enjoy.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of
datasecurity management strategies



Sorry for the second post, I forgot to ask:

"criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of data security 
management strategies"

Does anyone know if these are specified anywhere??  I cannot find 
them in the study design. Criteria for other things are specified in 
the glossary, but not for this.   Of course I can tell my students 
what's important in security, but will they be required to list 
actual concisely-worded criteria?  This topic doesn't seem to be very 
amenable to simple criteria, it's more a grab-bag of "what-if's".

Potts talks about integrity, security, ease of retrieval and currency 
of files, but these are actually the study design glossary's measures 
of effectiveness of a file management system, not of security 
management in particular.   I doubt "is secure" would be accepted as 
a criterion for effectiveness of a security system! May as well just 
put "is effective" as an effectiveness criterion!
