Chapter 2 described how the internet works. When a computer sends data over the internet, the computers software divides the data up into small pieces, known as packets, which each contain not only the data, but also the destination, sender, and the sequence information that is needed to reassemble the data when it gets to that destination. These packets travel through the hardware devices known as routers.
Internet Service Providers (ISP) are either regional or national internet access providers. Regional ISP's are businesses that provide access only to specific geographic areas, whereas national ISP's provides internet access to cities nationwide, and broadband access to many locations. National ISP's are generally better because they have the ability to provide more services and technical support staff.
Today I learned about hotpotatoes, and how to use the program. I only used multiple choice questions, but I noticed that there were other types available, which helps to mix up the test some. It seems like it will be a great tool in creating tests for my future students. Yesterday I did the second assignment, so now I know how to create a newsletter for my students. I really didn't know how to put it all together before, so the assignment description really helped.
