This presentation starts with an overview of ways and necessary equipment setup for web conferencing or webcasting for meeting other classrooms for global projects. Resources for use in web conferences are shared as well as resources for connecting with other classrooms synchronously or asynchronously.

There is a lot of jargon on how we connect to the Internet and this fully animated presentation shows you exactly how we connect to the Internet as a story. By making a story this is now suitable for students from Key Stage 2 - 5 and brings all the jargon together in a meaningful way. (Highly recommended for teaching iGCSE Internet technologies). The words have been minimized to make more accessible for students with limited vocabulary.

This resource is based on Edexcel iGCSE ICT qualification (4IT/1). It contains two files: an end of unit assessment plus end of unit assessment answers. The questions are a combination of exam questions and student book questions. Hope you find this resource useful.

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!
