How do we connect to the internet?

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.
