[Yr7-10it] Intro to the Internet

[Carnie, Sheryl M]

There are some quizzes on howstuffworks that may be good to get students to review prior knowledge/understanding and to perhaps check learning after the unit!
http://people.howstuffworks.com/quizzes.htm <http://people.howstuffworks.com/quizzes.htm> 
 
And some info pages on Internet related topics, accompanied by video clips etc

Cheers

Hi all,

I'm trying to put something together to introduce students to how the
Internet works.  I'm thinking in terms of Technology, like Servers,
Topologies, and that sort of stuff.
But how would I make that interesting and possibly fun.

Cheers,
Jamie
