[Yr11 Information Technology] Unit 2 - Outcome 2

[Mark Kelly]

Since most network design in VCE is SOHO, it's easy to concentrate on 
designing a home network.

The kids tend to find that fascinating because they all want one 
themselves, or they want to see if they did it right, or they want to 
supe it up.

It especially drives home the security issues, since suddenly it's THEIR 
home network being threatened  :-)
