41 Types of Networks

This is the second in a sequence of lessons that introduce students to the principles of network organisation and the reasons why networks are used.
This lesson looks at the differences between LAN and WAN, introduces the idea of a PAN, and also considers the role of the router in creating a LAN.
The lesson plan is provided in PPTX, PPTS and PPT format, although some image and animation settings lose functionality in the older version of PowerPoint.
The learning mat (worksheet) is also available as a PDF version. This will print on A3 paper.
