Phase+One+Project+Plan


 * Project One Project Plan**


 * General Topic** – Computer Forensics


 * Specific Topic** - To recover deleted pictures from a micro secure digital camera card


 * Audience for the Project** – College Students, specifically Bloomsburg University students


 * Type of Activity chosen to create**– Expert Lecture Choice


 * Topic Overview – Recovering deleted pictures from a micro sd card**


 * Task** – The audience will learn how to recover a deleted image from a micro SD card by using handouts they will receive and by going to a number of websites to help educate them on the process. This will be all online, the handouts they receive will work best if they are printed out so they can be written on by the student. The student will also have a digital copy of the handouts in which they can alter (this will be how they will be able to tell if they recovered the picture) and this is what will be submitted for evaluation.


 * Process / Guidance** – Parts of this explanation will be brought up again in the Evaluation section but the students will have a series of handouts that they will be working with. The handouts will range over the three phases of what the code looks like when a picture is not there, when a picture is there and when the picture is deleted. With the activity being a online scavenger hunt there would be clues online that would point the students into right direction / websites that would allow for them to complete the activity.


 * Evaluation** – The assignment will be given out with a series of handouts along with it. One of the handouts will be a snap shot of some hex code that will show what it would look like with no picture on the card. Another handout will have the snapshot of the same code but with a picture saved to the card. Finally the third handout will have a snapshot of the exact code with a deleted image. The students that will be going through the assignment will be asked to alter the code in order to recover the picture. They will only need to change the code on the one hand out that had the code for the picture being deleted. Once the students have completed the assignment they will submit the handouts in order for them to be evaluated. The assignment would be graded by a check mark or x. I feel this will be the best way to grade the assignment because you are checking to see if the deleted image was recovered or not, so if the image is unable to open the student would get an X and if the image opens they would get a check. The student should have a decent idea of how they did because if they wanted to they would be able to check themselves if the image is open-able or if the operating system of the machine is able to identify that there is an image there.


 * Reflection** – I chose to create this assignment because of my undergraduate degree, which was Computer Forensics. This was a similar task that I was asked to do in intro level classes for computer forensics. I personally found it a very interesting thing to do, the idea of being able to recover a deleted image with only the knowledge of an intro course was very exciting. This assignment was basically what made me decide that I wanted to do computer forensics for undergrad. I found the assignment to be challenging but also doable which is why I chose this for my assignment.
