3. Key concepts
- Internet
- The internet is a kind of network. A network is like the houses on a local street that are connected to each other along the streets, or like cities that are linked to each other via train tracks. On the internet, all computers form a network. In the internet, computers can communicate with each other by transferring information from one machine to another.
- Wireless and Wired Network
- Devices can be connected to the internet wirelessly or with a cable. Wireless networks are more common nowadays because they allow devices to be moved from one place to another. For a wireless network to function, it requires an access point connected to a wired network.
4. Discussion questions (5 mins): What is Internet?
- What is the internet? (see keyword explanation)
- What can you do on the internet? (On the internet, you can use websites to search for information, listen to music, watch videos, buy goods, etc.)
- How does information move on the internet? (After typing the website address, the computer connects to the correct server using the internet's address registry. The address is converted into a sequence of numbers and dots.)
- What would happen if the internet stopped working? (Electronic financial transactions would cease, communication through the network would be impossible, and many things, such as the delivery of electricity and water, would stop. There would be significant changes in daily life.)
5. Online learning (10-20 mins)
- In the lesson, students explore the DigiNet Islands and attempt to activate the base stations on the islands to get the phone's internet connection working.

Internet
Choose a suitable task for your group based on digital assignments for handling the internet.
Internet Tag
Let's play Internet Tag. One player (the tagger) is the Computer Fixer, who has problems with the internet connection. There are many devices to fix, and their internet connection constantly drops, meaning they are continuously falling off the internet. Other players represent different devices with internet connections: tablet, phone, computer, game console (agree on a suitable number together).
The tagger begins to tag the devices. Devices can protect themselves from the tagger by going into an "offline" state, meaning they squat down. When squatting, they say the name of their device, for example, "Tablet not online!" or "Tablet offline!"
