Networking Quicksheet Assessment
Cory,
This is a thoughtful write-up. Some of the content in your summary of networking is quite specific to general concepts which I happen to have layered into this curriculum during the networking unit (e.g. decorators, exceptions). They're not really connected to networking.
I hear you about the logistical issues of teaching exciting CS in a school--but on the other hand, clicking "search" on google.com sends a post request, so it's not exactly exotic and threatening. The chromebook is probably a bigger problem than the network (You could bring a wireless access point into the classroom, not even connected to the Internet, and all the students could connect and serve websites to each other... a mini-internet!) I'd be happy to brainstorm sometime if you're thinking about how to make something work.
If you're talking about networking with 6th graders, you have to try the TCP-IP simulation... it's so fun!
