How Networks Impact Daily Life
• Explain ways that using information networks to share and collaborate improves teaching and learning
How Networks Impact Daily Life
• Describe ways communication over a network supports the way we play
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges
• Basic characteristics of communication– Rules or agreements are first established– Important information may need to be repeated– Various modes of communication may impact
the effectiveness of getting the message across.
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges
• Describe the role of data networking in communications
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges• Describe the various
elements that make up a network– Devices
• These are used to communicate with one another
– Medium• This is how the
devices are connected together
– Messages• Information that
travels over the medium
– Rules• Governs how
messages flow across network
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges
