Class Experience

In this one time class, students will learn how to start their own password protected database of passwords using the password manager KeePass. I chose KeePass because it is a free and open source application that I personally use to manage close to 100 of my own passwords. I never lose my passwords and always have them a few clicks away with this password manager. Students will learn how to use the KeePass password generator to create their own strong passwords and start a database of their own.

Topics covered:
- how to download and install KeePass
- how to add your first 1-5 passwords to your password protected database and save them to your computer 
- how to use the basic features of Keepass including the finder

The class will start off with introductions and students getting a chance to share their experience with passwords in the past and what motivated them to sign up for this class. Next, I will make sure all of the students got the chance to download and install the KeePass application and help them if not. We will proceed to open the application and go through the setup process. Finally, we will go through the basic features and create a small database of passwords for easy reference.

My teaching style is hands on. This means we learn by doing the work, learning the buttons and using them to create passwords for the database.

Learners will get to interact with me several structured times during the class and then as needed when they have questions.

Learning Goals

The goal is for students to learn how to use KeePass to create and store 1-5 of their own passwords.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Green Mountain College
Hello and welcome! My name is Andrew and I am a teacher, former Assistant Camp Director and volunteer firefighter.
I teach:

- CapCut Video Editing
- Beginner Morse code


In my high school years, I took an Amateur Radio Licensing Class that included learning Morse Code. I did so well with the Morse Code that I earned an award for being able to send and receive the code at 5 words per minute. As a senior in high school, I taught and organized a small group of high school and middle school students about Morse Code. 

In 2013, I graduated from Green Mountain College in Vermont with two degrees: Adventure Education & Youth Development & Camp Management. During my 4 years of college, I also created a Ham Radio Club and offered classes and fun projects to college aged students. 

After college, I worked for 5 years at the Hawthorne Valley Farm Visiting Students Program and Summer Camp programs. I started out as a camp counselor and eventually worked one year as the Assistant Director. During this time, I again occasionally taught a Morse Code class to the interested students who were 9-12 years old.

Teaching Values:
1. In class, I like to make the classroom fun and engaging so that the students can enjoy the learning process.
2. I will never make anyone feel bad about getting something wrong. I will allow mistakes to happen and them guide the students to correct their own work.
3. Every class, I make an effort to connect the content to real life examples to help bring out more interest and enthusiasm in the students.

As a teenager living in rural New York, USA, I communicated to another Ham Radio Operator in Alaska using Morse Code with a handmade dipole antenna.
