Activity 1: The Internet

Essential Questions<= /u>
• What are the Internet and = the WWW?

The Internet been called the "information superhighway," the "world's largest library," and just "= ;the 'Net." So what exactly is it? The Internet is a global network of comp= uter networks, linking computers so they can "communicate." This communication can take several forms, such as electronic mail (email), discussion groups, and information retrieved via the World Wide Web. Data is delivered from one computer to another using various protocols, su= ch as Internet Protocol (IP),= File Transfer Protocol= (FPT), and Hypertext Tran= sfer Protocol (HTTP). Many people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web interchangeably. This is actually incorrect. While the Internet links computers so they can communicate, the Web is really the substance of that communication. A document on the Web is called a Web page and a collection of pages is a Web site. The development of the World Wide= Web has led to the growing popularity of the Internet.

• What are the components of= a URL?

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. Simply stated, a URL is a Web site's complete "address" on the vast map = of the Internet. Just as your home address is made up of several components--h= ouse number, street, city, state, zip code--the URL for a World Wide Web document has four components, each separated by a slash (/). These components are illustrated in the chart below.

• What is the difference between the Internet and the WWW?<= /b>

The Internet, in simplest terms, is the large g= roup of millions of computers around the world that are all connected to one another. These computers are connected by phone lines, fiber optic lines, coaxial cable, satellites, and wireless connections. When you log on to the Internet you are given access to many of the other computers that are conne= cted around the world.

The World Wide Web is what you are usi= ng right now (unless you printed out the guide, then you're probably reading a piece of paper). The World Wide Web is the name given to the entire part of= the Internet you can access with your web browser software. (Netscape Navigator= and Microsoft Internet Explorer are the two most popular web browsers.) The Wor= ld Wide Web, or WWW or web for short, consists of millions of web sites (like yahoo.com, microsoft.com, and davesite.com) and millions of web pages. A web page is what you are viewing right now. It's kind of like a word-processing document, except it can contain pictures, sounds, and even movies along with text. Anyone who knows a little HTML (hyper-text markup language) or has a program capable of saving in HTML can make a web page. (For a free course in HTML, you can visit HT= ML: An Interactive Tutorial for Beginners, which is one of my other sites.)

• What is a web browser?

Web browsers, such as Netscape Navigator, Micro= soft Internet Explorer, and Mosaic, are software programs that help you navigate= the Web and access text, graphics, hyperlinks, audio, video, and other multimed= ia. Browsers work by "translating" or "interpreting" hypertext markup lang= uage (HTML)--the code embedded in Web pages that tells them how to look. Bro= wsers read this code and display the Web page accordingly.

• What are the SAISD rules for using the Internet?

COMPUTER = USE AND INTERNET ACCESS FOR STUDENTS

Computers are available throughout = the District for student use, and in many cases, these computers allow students access to the Internet. Students develop electronic information research sk= ills using these resources which are fundamental skills for the preparation of citizens and future employees. The District goal is to promote educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication.=
