(Amy Hirotaka - Code.org) [br]This activity explains,

0:00:07.600,0:00:10.400
in a easy-to-understand way, how the internet works.

0:00:10.400,0:00:14.119
We explain all the terminology you'll need in simple terms,

0:00:14.119,0:00:17.920
so that students can simulate transmitting messages, like an email.

0:00:17.920,0:00:20.800
Students will transmit messages while pretending to be

0:00:20.800,0:00:23.000
one of three transmission methods:

0:00:23.000,0:00:26.100
wireless internet (WIFI), DSL or fiber-optic.

0:00:26.400,0:00:28.400
The students who represent WIFI,

0:00:28.400,0:00:31.000
will have to wear the message they're transmitting on their head,

0:00:31.000,0:00:34.700
because WIFI is the most likely to drop some information.

0:00:34.700,0:00:37.200
The students pretending to be DSL or cable

0:00:37.200,0:00:39.800
will carry the message on the back to their hand

0:00:39.800,0:00:42.700
where they're slightly less likely to drop information.

0:00:42.700,0:00:45.100
And the students representing fiber-optic

0:00:45.100,0:00:47.400
will get to carry them with both hands.

0:00:48.500,0:00:50.900
This activity is a great way to understand

0:00:50.900,0:00:54.300
something that many of us use every day.
