1. What is the Internet - (FREE)

The Internet (or internet) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices.
The World Wide Web, commonly known as the Web, is an information system where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators, which may be interlinked by hyperlinks, and are accessible over the Internet.
(wikipedia definitions)

This is part of a series of 45-60 minute lessons that will give students (and often, teachers) a much greater understanding of what the internet is, how it works and what the World Wide Web is (no, it is not the internet).

Each lesson comprises:
- a fully animated PowerPoint with explanatory slides
- loads of embedded videos (can be extracted if required)
- worksheets and self-evaluation files

The lesson objectives are:
1. understand what the Internet is (this FREE resource)
2. understand how the Internet works and what the World Wide Web is
In addition, there are a series of lessons that look at what a web page is, how HTML works, and creating a web page using HTML.

ALL my postings are FULLY "classroom-tested" - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness.
But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.
