Step 2: Read through the following information.
Internet
The Internet is a Wide Area Network that is global in scope. It is a network of networks that connects every continent and
almost every country on Earth. Using the Internet, a person can search for information on almost any topic, send electronic
mail around the word, use the programs on large computers at distant places, automatically receive news, download programs
and files of information, and even talk on-line with other computer users.
Internet Addresses
On the Internet, information is provided by servers at various places, and it is used by people running client programs at
other places. To gain access to a server, a client program needs the addresses of the server. Two types of addresses are used,
IP addresses and domain names.
http:
HyperText Transfer Protocol; it is the main protocol used on the World Wide Web, which enables linking to other sites. Addressing
to other web pages begins with "http://" and is followed by the domain name or IP address.
Domain Names
IP addresses are difficult to remember, so another type of address, called a domain name, is often used instead. A domain
name is just a group of words or strings of characters, separated by periods. It can be used to identify a site on the Internet
if it can be translated into an IP address. There is a service on the Internet called the Domain Name System (DNS) that keeps
track of domain names and is able to translate them into IP addresses. Some examples of domain names are shown below.
nps.gov
www.culver.edu
www.cnn.com
antsrp.gsfc.nasa.gov
A sub-domain is farthest to the right and is called the top-level sub-domain. These often identify organizations or geographical
locations. Some organizational top-level sub-domains are shown below.
Commercial: com
Educational: edu
Government: gov
Military: mil
Network: net
Non-Profit Organization: net
Some geographical top-level sub-domains are listed below.
Austria: at
Germany: de
Japan: jp
Australia: au
France: fr
United States: us
IP Addresses
Each site on the Internet is identified by a unique address called an IP address. An IP address is four numbers, separated
by three periods (.). Each of the numbers can be a whole number between 0 and 255. An example is shown below.
198.49.144.2
When you want to access a particular server on the Internet, you must sometimes give the IP address of that server to
your Internet client program.
Protocol
The "language" a computer uses to communicate over a network; computers must use the same protocol to communicate
with each other.
File Transfer Protocol
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It allows you to download programs and files of information from other computers
to your computer. All sorts of files, pictures, programs, sound clips, and other items are available.
Telnet
Telnet is a protocol that lets you log in to a remote computer and use programs and data that the remote owner has made
available, just as if it were a local computer.

Step 3: Click on the link below (Internet Matching
Game) and play the game.
MAKE SURE YOU SHOW YOUR TEACHER YOUR INTERNET MATCHING GAME SCORE BEFORE YOU MOVE ON TO THE
NEXT STEP.

Step 4: Go to the bookcase and get your "Lesson
Three: Activities" packet.
Once you finish the activity, display your own Web page in your Web browser and notify your teacher.

SCORING SHEET.
Step 5: Save your PowerPoint Project as a Web Page.
Get the handout titled, "Saving a Presentation as a Web Page."
Open your PowerPoint slideshow and follow the
instructions on the handout.
When you finish, view your new Web Page and notify your teacher for grading.
STOP! NOTIFY YOUR TEACHER THAT YOU ARE DONE AND HAVE YOUR
BUILDING WEB PAGES SCORING SHEET READY.
Step 6: Before creating a Web Page, you must know
how to cite websites and images so that you adhere to copyright laws.
Read the following...
Bibliography
If you choose sources carefully, cyberspace can be a great place to collect the information you need to write a report.
According to Encarta, "a bibliography is a list of the sources you used in your research. It is usually included as
a separate page or pages at the end of your assignment and titled Bibliography, References, or Works Cited. To make creating
a bibliography easy, jot down your source information as you do research."
A bibliography should include all sources
from which students took information - online as well as offline.
"Bibliography." Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia 2004. 2004. 7 December 2004. < http://encarta.msn.com/sidebar_701538478/Bibliography.html>.
Use of Web Art, Photos, Text, etc.
Unless there is a clear statement that art, photos and text are "public domain"
and available for free use, the best policy is to assume that they are copyrighted and should not be taken and used for re-publication
on a local area network, a wide area network or a Web site.
The good news is that a very high percentage of the sites we have contacted
have responded positively to our requests. In one case, as excellent artist consented to district wide use of her collection
for a mere $200 fee. Her collection was far superior to commercially available clip art.
Internet pirates argue that work is not copyrighted unless there is a clear
notice on the Web page or site. This simply is not the case. Copyright law protects work even if no papers have been filed
with the government.
Most people agree that students may use these items for school
reports, but some companies are extremely aggressive about their icons and logos. They do not take kindly to abusive use of
their company images. Caution is advised.
If permission is granted, the best policy is to provide a credit
line near the item or at the bottom of the page.
