Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

My name is Mrs. Jenkins.

I'm really looking forward to learning with you today.

Welcome to today's lesson.

It is called Sharing Information, and it is from the unit, The Internet.

By the end of today's lesson, you're going to be able to outline how websites or the World Wide Web are shared via the internet.

In today's lesson, we're going to look at four keywords.

These key words will appear throughout the lesson, so it's important for us to look at their meaning now to help us understand the lesson.

The keywords are digital media, website, host and web browser.

Digital media is content such as images that can be stored and viewed on a computer.

Website is a collection of interlinked web pages stored under a single domain.

A host is when a website or service is stored on a computer that is connected to the internet.

A web browser is a programme used to view, navigate, and interact with web pages.

So those four keywords are digital media, website, host and web browser.

Keep your eyes open for them throughout the lesson.

In today's lesson, sharing information, we are going to look at three learning cycles.

The first is identify media that can be shared via the internet, the second is to recognise features of a website, and the third is to explain how websites are accessed.

We're going to begin with identify media that can be shared via the internet.

The internet is connected by lots of routers.

The World Wide Web is a service on the internet that lets you visit web pages and websites.

So Sofia, if she would like to get to A, B, or C, her data will have to travel through many of these different routers to get to the letters.

Sofia asks us, "Can this be shared on the internet?" It is a sandwich.

What do you think? We cannot share a physical sandwich through the internet, but we can share pictures of food, recipes and reviews.

Something physical is something you can touch, hold in your hand or eat.

Jun asks us, "Can this be shared on the internet?" And it's a physical dog.

We cannot share a physical dog through the internet.

However, we can share pictures and videos of dogs.

Lucas asks, "Can this be shared on the internet?" And that's a song.

What do you think? We can share music and sounds through a computer as they are now stored digitally.

Laura asks us, "Can this be shared on the internet?" That's a book.

What do you think? We can't share a physical book, however, it can be shared if it is an electronic book or an ebook.

We can also share book reviews and recommendations online.

Little check here, the internet is connected by, A, computers, B, routers, or C, switches? Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked you, the internet is connected by, A, computers, B, routers, or C, switches? The answer is B, routers.

The internet is connected by routers.

The internet lets people share lots of different types of media.

It is important to understand the difference between digital media that can be shared and physical objects that cannot be shared.

For example, a book and an electronic book.

Okay, I've got another little check here.

True or false, a physical dog can be shared on the internet.

Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked you, true or false, a physical dog can be shared on the internet.

It is false.

A photograph or picture of a dog can be shared on the internet, but a physical dog cannot be passed through a computer.

Great job! We're going to move on to our first task now.

I want you to look at this list and decide, can these things be shared online? It's the type of media we've got.

We've got an actual dog, a song, a book, a blog, a funny cat video, and your lunch.

And I want you to answer, can they be shared? Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked, can these things be shared online? And I showed an actual dog, a song, a book, a blog, a funny cat video, and your lunch.

So an actual dog, can they be shared? No, but a picture of the dog could be.

A song? Yes, a song can be shared.

A book? A physical book cannot be shared, but an ebook can.

A blog? Yes.

A funny cat video? Yes.

Your lunch? No, you can't pass your lunch through a computer, but you could share a photo or review of your lunch.

Great job, everyone.

We are going to move on to our second learning cycle now, recognise features of a website.

What does this web address mean? So we've got www.

codeclub.

org.

The www dot stands for World Wide Web.

And codeclub.

org is the domain name.

Another name for a web address is URL, which stands for uniform resource locator.

The address of a website gives a clue as to where the website is created.

For example, www.

newsfortoday.

co.

uk.

That will tell us that it is created in the UK.

This shows us the website is from the UK.

Some website addresses give you more details about the content of the website.

What do you think these mean? So we've.

gov,.

com or.

co, and.

sch.

So.

gov stands for government website,.

com or.

co stands for company, so a company runs the website.

The.

sch stands for school, so it's normally on a school website.

Some website addresses give you more detail about the content of the website.

So what do you think these ones mean? We have.

uk,.

mx, and.

fr.

.

uk is United Kingdom,.

mx is Mexico, and.

fr is France.

So that tells us where the website was made.

Websites ending in.

co or.

com are often websites run by private companies.

These companies are run by individuals or groups rather than the government.

They operate to make a profit and can sell goods, services, or information online.

.

com stands for commercial, and is commonly used for businesses.

Which ending means it's a government website? A,.

gov, B,.

sch, or C,.

com? Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked, which ending means it's a government website? A,.

gov, B,.

sch, or C,.

com? The answer is.

gov.

So.

gov means it is a government website.

Most websites are hosted by large data centres.

Data centres are large buildings full of powerful computers.

Some of the largest data centres are owned by well-known global companies.

Some of the biggest companies are based in the USA, but they have data centres across the world.

Even if a website is created in France or the UK, or has a domain pointing to these countries, its data might not be stored there.

Websites are stored all around the world.

Okay, let's have another little check here.

True or false? Websites ending in.

com or.

co are usually run by private companies.

Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked you, true or false? Websites ending in.

com or.

co are usually run by private companies.

The answer is true.

Because websites ending in.

com or.

co are usually run by private companies.

We've got some key features of a website here.

A website usually has a header and a logo that tells you who, the company or organisation running the website are.

There is normally some form of navigation menu.

This helps you to find your way around a website.

There is often a log in or sign up section on the website, and then there are content areas and pictures or videos.

The header and logo is the top part of the website, often has a logo and links to other parts of the website.

The navigation menu is a set of links that make it easier for someone to find their way around the website.

For example, the homepage, the about page, and maybe a menu.

The content area is the main section of the page where information, images and videos are shown.

Some more key features here.

Images and videos.

Pictures and videos that are used to make the website more engaging.

Some websites have a sign up or log in area, and this is an area of the website where you can sign in to an account or join the website.

Some websites might have more features once you have signed in.

Okay, we're going to move on to Task B now.

I would like you to have a go at labelling some of the key features of this website.

Have a go.

Hi, how did you get on? I asked you to label some of the key features of this website.

Okay, we have got our log in/sign up, our navigation menu, pictures or videos, content area and header and logo.

Great job.

We are now going to move on to our third learning cycle, and this is explain how websites are accessed.

Lucas says, "How can I access the internet?" There are many ways we can access the internet and through many different devices.

Here are just a few examples.

We have TVs, computers, games consoles, mobile phones, tablets, e-readers.

So we have a list here, TV, computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, games console, e-reader, and probably many more.

A web browser is an application or programme on your device that enables you to look at or browse websites on the internet.

There are many different web browsers available depending on the device you are using.

How many different browsers can you all think of? Okay, let's have a little check-in.

True or false? A website can be accessed by typing its address into a web browser.

Have a go.

Okay, how did you get on? I asked, true or false? A website can be accessed by typing its address into a web browser.

The answer is true.

That is how we can access a website.

To access a website, you type the web address into the top bar of the browser window.

This is called the address bar.

If you are not sure of a web address or the exact website that you need, for example, if you are searching for a particular topic, you may choose to use a search engine.

Most web browsers now have the search function built into the address bar.

Alternatively, search engines have a search tool that lets you research specific topics.

Okay, let's have a little check.

How do you access a website? A, write a letter, B, type the address into a web browser, or C, turn on the TV? Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked you, how do you access a website? A, write a letter, B, type the address into a web browser, or C, turn on the TV? The answer was B, type the address into a web browser.

Okay, we are onto our third task now.

I would like you to fill in the blanks to complete these sentences.

So, a blank is an application or programme on your device that helps you look at blank on the internet.

To visit a website, you need to type the address of your website into the blank.

A blank will show you the links to websites related to your search topics.

Many browsers now have a blank built into the blank, so you can search for websites and topics directly from there.

Have a go.

How did you get on? I asked you to fill in the blanks to complete the sentences.

Let's look at the answers.

A web browser is an application or programme on your device that helps you look at web pages on the internet.

To visit a website, you need to type the address of your website into the address bar.

A search engine will show you links to websites related to your search topics.

Many browsers now have a search engine built into the address bar so you can search for websites and topics directly from there.

Great job, everyone.

You have worked so hard today.

Well done! Let's summarise what we have learned today.

Digital media can be shared on the World Wide Web, however, physical objects cannot.

Websites have addresses that start with www dot.

The ending of a web address can also be a clue to the type of website or where it was created.

Websites are viewed in web browsers, which can run on different devices.

Great job, everyone! I can't wait to learn with you again soon.
