Purpose/Use/Notes:

In Digital Literacy I’m teaching students how to set up a local network and we actually set one up, not just talk about it. Then I have them “follow the cables” and we go look at the switches and I show them what the Internet really is. As a follow up I’m putting together an 8th grade Smart Home Automation and Networking College and Career Awareness Project where students are entrepreneurs who own a networking and smart home automation company. They’ll have to show me they can research smart devices they might sell to customers, then actually get those devices on the network and then explain to, and show, customers why they need certain devices and how they would use them in their particular circumstances (such as blind, deaf, elderly, gamers, etc.) Currently I can get all these devices on the school’s network behind a router that was donated for this purpose, but once on the network the devices lose connection to their app. I suspect it’s because the ports they use to communicate with their servers are closed. I’d like to get these devices not just working, but working with their apps behind the school’s network so I don’t have to use a hot spot in order to do these projects.
