Unplugged Activity | Internet

This activity explains,

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

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

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

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.800
Students will transmit messages while pretending to be

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.000
one of three transmission methods:

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

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.400
The students who represent WIFI,

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

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.700
because WIFI is the most likely to drop some information.

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.200
The students pretending to be DSL or cable

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.800
will carry the message on the back to their hand

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.700
where they're slightly less likely to drop information.

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.100
And the students representing fiber-optic

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.400
will get to carry them with both hands.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:50.900
This activity is a great way to understand

00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:54.300
something that many of us use every day.
