Connectivity
This lesson introduces students to how we connect to the internet and introduces them to terms such as I.P address and explains what happens with traffic. They're introduced to the number of devices which are available and have to do some independent research. They're also given the opportunity to set up a blog in which they can share all of their work their teachers. If you're un-happy for your students to blog, you could always keep a progress log. The blog was used as an e-safety tool and the teacher was able to explain how to post responsibly during lessons.
