This activity explains,

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,400
in a easy-to-understand way, how the internet works.

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,119
We explain all the terminology you'll need in simple terms,

5
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:17,920
so that students can simulate transmitting messages, like an email.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Students will transmit messages while pretending to be

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,000
one of three transmission methods:

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,100
wireless internet (WIFI), DSL or fiber-optic.

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,400
The students who represent WIFI,

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,000
will have to wear the message they're transmitting on their head,

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,700
because WIFI is the most likely to drop some information.

12
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:37,200
The students pretending to be DSL or cable

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
will carry the message on the back to their hand

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,700
where they're slightly less likely to drop information.

15
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:45,100
And the students representing fiber-optic

16
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,400
will get to carry them with both hands.

17
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:50,900
This activity is a great way to understand

18
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,300
something that many of us use every day.
