| Lesson Topic: Know and understand characteristics, uses and purpose of an extranet, intranet and the internet |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe the key characteristics of the Internet, intranet and extranet.
- Explain differences in ownership, access control and security levels among the three networks.
- Identify typical technologies and common uses for each network type.
- Compare advantages and disadvantages to select the most appropriate network for a given scenario.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector and screen
- Laptop with internet access
- Printed handouts of the comparison table
- Worksheets for group activity
- Whiteboard and markers
- Interactive whiteboard (optional)
|
Introduction:
Start with a quick poll: “What network are you using right now?” to activate prior knowledge. Briefly recap that students already know what the Internet is, then outline today’s success criteria – students will be able to differentiate the three networks and justify their use in real‑world contexts.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5'): Students list examples of websites or services they use daily.
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Define Internet, intranet and extranet; highlight ownership, access and security.
- Group comparison activity (15'): Using the handout, groups fill a Venn diagram comparing characteristics, technologies and uses.
- Guided practice (10'): Teacher demonstrates how to read the provided comparison table and extracts key points.
- Whole‑class discussion (5'): Groups share findings; teacher clarifies misconceptions.
- Exit ticket (5'): Students write one situation where an extranet would be the best choice.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the three network types, emphasizing their distinct purposes and security levels. Collect exit tickets to assess understanding, and assign a short homework: create a real‑world scenario and justify which network (Internet, intranet or extranet) should be used.
