Team Collaboration

As a team we accomplished organizing and creating a functional website to inform people about the different types of Cyber Crime.

Konner retrieved all of the information in our “Viruses” document. He also programmed all of the HTML coding by himself.

Jeremy provided insight towards the layout and set up of the website, retrieved the information in our “Spam, Worms, Trojans, and Gray Hat Hackers” document. We enjoyed his ability to adjust to any situation allowing the others to work more freely.

Priscilla provided Araceli with assistance in finding the “Hackers, White Hat, and Black Hat” documents.

Araceli gathered information on the subjects of Hackers along with the White/Black Hat subcultures, with the help of Pricilla.

Team Diversity

Our team does have some ethnic and socio-economic diversity. Jeremy and Konner come from a mostly Caucasian background with hints of Native American Blood. Araceli and Priscilla, however, are both Hispanic.

Priscilla and Araceli receive free breakfast and lunch under the National School Lunch Program. Under the same program Konner receives a reduced price for breakfast and lunch. Jeremy pays regular price. As far as religion is set in our team the only person who recognizes a religion is Jeremy, as he practices his Agnosticism.
