Materials

• Diagrams of different network and connection types (e.g. LAN, WAN, intranet, internet)
• Handouts with definitions and descriptions of the different network and connection types
• Examples of network and connection devices (e.g. routers, switches, modems, LAN adapters)

Warm-up

• Ask students to think of different places where they might access the Internet or a network, and write down their answers on a piece of paper.

• Go over the answers as a class and discuss the different types of networks and connections discussed.

Independent Practice

• Have students choose one type of network or connection to research in more detail. Students can use a variety of resources, such as textbooks, online resources, and research journals, to find information about their chosen topic.
• Students should create a presentation or report to share their findings with the class.

Closure

• Review the main concepts covered in the lesson, including network and connection types and their characteristics.
• Ask students to share their presentations or reports with the class, encouraging them to discuss and debate the topics discussed.

Assessment

• Observe students during the independent practice activity, looking for their ability to accurately and effectively research and present a topic related to networking or internet.
• Collect and review the presentations or reports produced by students during the independent practice activity, looking for evidence of understanding of the concepts covered in the lesson.
