HOW THE INTERNET WORKS ASSIGNMENTS

Below are the assignment descriptions and some great links to sites about how the internet works. Once again all material on these sites is testable material but I am only looking for generalities not specifics.
 

There is NO need to PRINT out any of these websites!!!! It is a complete waste of paper
 

Assignment #1: Write one paragraph about Packet Switching in your Blog.

Assignment #2:

Use the Webopedia site to answer the questions given to you in the Microsoft Word documents(HowIntworkswksht & HowtheInternetWorks2) that are in the ToStudents folder. This is a fantastic resource for you to use.
