The document discusses how computers can connect to peripherals and wireless networks. It lists various connection types for computers like USB, Firewire, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and infrared. It also discusses wireless network security concepts such as SSID, firewalls, WEP, and WPA/WPA2. Students are instructed to work in teams to create a educational resource explaining computer connections and how to securely connect to a wireless network using tools like podcasts, PowerPoints, videos or animations. They are also asked to develop personal network security rules and briefly share one thing they learned about connections or networks.

1. How peripherals can be connected to
a computer
&
how to connect a computer to an
existing wireless network

2. • Who knows what a network is?
• How are they used and made secure?
• What connections can be on a computer?

3. • USB
• Firewire
• Wi-fi
• Bluetooth
• Infrared
• Service Set Identifier (SSID)
• firewall
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (Wep)
• Wi-fi Protected Access (WPA & WPA2)

4. • To understand what connections are on a
computer.
• To understand how to secure a wireless network.
• To understand what a network is.

8. We are going to design and create our own revision materials based on the
topic of connections and networks.
I want you to work in teams to produce a resource that will help explain what
connections are on a computer as well as how to connect to a wireless network
and what security is needed and why.
You can create:
• A podcast
• A PowerPoint
• A video
• A animation
The choice is yours

9. Create a set of personal rules for network security
that someone would need to follow in order to
make sure their network is kept secure.
You can use the internet to help you with this.

10. In pairs you have 2 minutes to share one thing
you have learnt in today’s lesson and how it will
help you.
That’s 1 minute each to talk about what you
have learnt in todays lesson.
