Sub Instructions – The OSI Model

Wednesday: Students will study the OSI Reference Model.

Students will go to these websites:

OSI Reference Model illustrated

Webopedia – OSI Model

Wikipedia – OSI Model

They must QUIETLY read each one. Then, they will create a PowerPoint presentation with:

1. Slides on the history and purpose of the OSI Model.
2. A slide showing a graphic (picture) of the OSI Model.
3. Seven slides that explain EACH LAYER.
4. A Citations page showing ALL THE WEB PAGES VISITED IN MAKING THIS PRESENTATION.

Students must work hard to finish this by Friday when I will be there to watch them finish.

Thanks.

PS. If students want to quietly finish up their LAB computers with XP installation and AVG virus installation, that’s good. Let Chris Bacon and Chris Farquhar lead this effort. They might need to work with students to have ethernet cables and good KVM switches. Then, students need to concentrate on the OSI project.

Work for January 6th — with a substitute in charge

Sorry I’m missing the first day of school. Be nice to the sub and do the following while I’m gone:

Read all of Chapters 1 and 2 from p. 499-533 in the A+ Certification for Dummies book. These are the first two chapters about operating systems.

When I get back, we’ll begin to use our second computers and install Windows on them.

Thanks, and I’ll see you soon. –Mr. Ross
