Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Know and understand connecting a device to a network using Bluetooth
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the Bluetooth architecture and its role in creating a personal area network.
  • Explain the discovery, pairing, and connection processes for Bluetooth devices.
  • Demonstrate how to safely connect two devices via Bluetooth and verify the link.
  • Evaluate the advantages and limitations of Bluetooth for short‑range networking.
Materials Needed:
  • Classroom computer with projector
  • Two Bluetooth‑enabled devices (e.g., smartphones or tablets)
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Printed step‑by‑step handout
  • Sample files (image or text) for transfer
  • Bluetooth checklist worksheet
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “Which devices in your pocket use Bluetooth?” Connect this to prior lessons on wireless networking and state that today students will master the full Bluetooth connection process. Explain that success will be measured by correctly pairing devices and safely transferring a file.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5') – Students list everyday Bluetooth devices on a sticky note and share a few examples.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10') – Overview of Bluetooth technology, PAN concept, frequency band, and security basics.
  3. Teacher demonstration (10') – Live walk‑through of discovery, pairing, connection, and data transfer between two devices.
  4. Guided practice (15') – Pairs follow the handout to connect their own devices; teacher circulates, using the checklist to confirm each step.
  5. Speed‑test activity (5') – Learners send a small image file and record the transfer time.
  6. Class discussion (5') – Review advantages, limitations, and key security tips.
  7. Exit ticket (5') – Each student writes one essential step and one safety precaution on a slip of paper.
Conclusion:
Recap the four‑stage Bluetooth process and highlight why security measures matter. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding, and assign a short homework task: students must pair a Bluetooth accessory at home and note any challenges they encounter.
