How the Web Works
Learning Objective: Learning Outcomes: Understand how data travels around the Internet and recognise how search engines find web pages and how to perform effective searches. GOOD: Take part in a demonstration of how packet switching works and identify some effective Internet search techniques. BETTER: Research and fully explain a list of five effective search techniques. BEST: Draw a diagram to demonstrate how search engines work.
K EYWORDS Internet ~ World Wide Web ~ packet switching ~ IP address ~ web crawler
Data is split into small chunks (packets) and sent to your router Sending Data Router Computer Your router sends these packets to their destination across the Internet. The Internet
Header: Network Packet NumberTotal Length Time to liveChecksum Source Address Destination Address The header contains some basic information about the packet. Real packets contain more than this example. TTL enables a packet to “die off” if it does not reach its destination in a set amount of time. The checksum performs a calculation to ensure the data doesn’t get mixed up.
Jobs Origin Host (1 person): Your job is to distribute the data packets. Routers (5 people): Spread out and tell the packets where to go next. Destination host (1 person): Put together all of the packets once they’ve ALL arrived. Packets (9 people): Start anywhere you like, you can only go where the routers tell you and must stop when you reach your destination address.
Quick Task Write the title: Packet Switching Under this write an explanation of the activity you have just carried out to explain the process of Packet Switching.
How search engines find information Search engines send out Web crawlers to collect information about websites. The web crawlers collate an index of all websites found. Search engines look for keywords in their databases when someone enters a search.
Effective Searching There are ways to search the World Wide Web to ensure you find the most relevant sites possible, remember quality is better than quantity! YOUR TASK Research methods for effective search techniques and put together a list of the top five techniques (remember to write in your own words by writing the Point, an Explanation and an Example). EXTENSION Draw a diagram to demonstrate how search engines work.
Quick Questions 1. What is the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet? 2. What is packet switching? 3. What is an IP address? 4. What does a Web Crawler do?

Using the Internet Who uses the Internet every day? Who has created their own social networking space? Who plays games online? Who has “online friends” that they do not know in real life?
What are the Risks? Paedophiles People lying online Bullying Viruses and pop-ups Seeing nasty pictures
What to Remember It’s important to trust your instincts. Once you put a picture or video online it’s impossible to get it back. It’s never to late to report. Paedophiles can be young and good-looking and the kind of person you think you might want to be friends with.
Reporting a Problem
Tips to Stay Safe Don’t give out your personal details If you share a picture remember it can easily be changed Remember people lie online Don’t meet up with strangers without an adult you trust Always report problems

How About Censorship?
UK’s Golden Shield Project? Consider this hypothetical scenario: “The UK Government are considering putting into place similar filtering regimes to China. They intend to block social networking sites as they feel these contributed to the London riots a few years ago. Also, media sharing sites such as YouTube are to be blocked along with a range of search terms, such as pornography, violence, drugs, guns, weapons, suicide, and any anti-government comments will be filtered.”
To Agree or Not to Agree… YOUR TASK Write a formal business letter to your local MP to either support or oppose the Government’s proposal about Internet filtering in the UK. Your letter must clearly make the point, give clear evidence and be fully explained (PEE). It should be clear whether you are arguing for or against the proposal with clear reasons given. EXTENSION Write a script for a debate between two people with opposite views on the Government’s proposal (each person needs to give valid points to support their argument.)

Spiderman ©Marvel Comics Creating Web Pages (part 1)
Learning Objective: Learning Outcomes: Understand how HTML is laid out and which components are required to make a simple webpage. GOOD: Construct a simple web page using HTML tags. BETTER: Select and use a suitable heading type and add some basic information in a paragraph. BEST: Add a range of appropriate information and an image to the page.
K EYWORDS HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) ~ tags ~ head ~ body ~ indent
What is HTML? One of the main languages of the Web: HTML CSS JavaScript HTML defines the content. CSS defines the appearance. (we’ll look at this next lesson.) JavaScript defines the behaviour.
How is HTML Written? HTML is made up of open and close tags with content in the middle. Here are some examples: This is my title All the main content goes here (one of a few tags to have no closing tag)
Getting Started Before you can start building your web page you need to do the following: 1. Create a folder in your documents called … webpage 2. Open up Notepad++, create a new document and save it into your “webpage” folder as… index.html
This line tells the web browser to expect an HTML web page. YOUR TASK Type these tags into your blank document in Notepad++ then save the file. (Don’t forget to indent it in the same way as here.) This section gives information about the site (it’s one of the places search engines look for information.) All of the content (the visible parts) of your website will go into the section.
My Cool Website! Welcome to my website! This is my website, hope you like it! YOUR TASKS Add a suitable title, heading and opening paragraph to your web page. Investigate different types of heading you could use. EXTENSION Decide on a topic for your web page then: Find out how to add a picture Find out how to add a hyperlink Add some relevant information
Quick Questions 1. What does HTML stand for? 2. What are the three main languages of the Web? 3. What is the purpose of the tags? 4. Why do we indent different sections of our code?
Spiderman ©Marvel Comics Creating Web Pages (part 2)
Learning Objective: Learning Outcomes: Understand how CSS works with HTML to change the appearance of a web page. GOOD: Change the colours of the page background and text using CSS. BETTER: Use tags to define and style separate areas of the page and experiment and apply different border styles to CSS boxes. BEST: Apply a font using Google Fonts.
K EYWORDS CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) ~ tags ~ border ~ RGB value
What is CSS? One of the main languages of the Web: HTML CSS JavaScript HTML defines the content. (we covered this last lesson.) CSS defines the appearance. JavaScript defines the behaviour.
Getting Started Before you can start styling your web page with CSS you need to do the following: 1. Open up your index.html page in Notepad++ 2. Create a new file in Notepad++ called… style.css 3. Save this into the same folder as your web page. 4. Add the line of code in bold below to the section of your own web page: My Cool Website! Note – NO capitals here!
Structure of CSS CSS is a bit different to html. Instead of open and close tags it uses brackets{ } to begin and end a section. To define a style for our body we would do this… body{ } This tells the CSS what part of the web page we are styling. Curly brackets are used to begin and end each section of CSS. color: A CSS property can be assigned a value using the colon : All CSS statements must end with a semicolon ; rgb(251, 133, 195);
body{ color: rgb(195,1,112); background-color: rgb(251,133,195); } YOUR TASK Type these styles into your CSS document. You can play with the RGB values to change the colours. Search online for an “RGB Colour picker” to help you.
Tags tags define divisions (or sections) of our page so we can apply different styles to different parts. In html this looks like… tags define the start and end of a section in the. Some content would go in here. For example, paragraphs of information, pictures etc. Each needs an ID so the CSS know which one we are styling.
My Cool Website! Welcome to my website! Some info you’ve written YOUR TASK Add tags to your web page to define a section of the html. Add the bits in bold into your own page
body{ color: rgb(195,1,112); background-color: rgb(251,133,195); } div#box{ width: 80%; margin-left: 10%; background-color: rgb(253,195,225); } YOUR TASKS Give your box some style by adding the section in bold to your CSS document. Use to find out how to give your box a border (hint: put the code underneath the background colour) EXTENSION Apply a font to your web page using “Google Fonts”.
Quick Questions 1. What does CSS stand for? 2. What are tags used for? 3. Give an example of a type of border style that can be applied using CSS. 4. Who managed to successfully apply a font using Google Fonts?
