    • Teacher's Instruction
    1. Teachers should help the children understand the importance of connecting to Internet and how that will be useful.
    2. Teachers should Explain about Wi-Fi and Hotspot. Also point out alternatives like wired connection, etc.
    3. Ask the students to think about how data from their computer goes to say Google.com server and comes back to them with the answers. From our computer to the Wifi router (LAN), from our router to Google’s router (through the Internet), from Google’s router to their server (their LAN) and reverse way back.
    4. Teachers should teach them to connect to the internet and open a browser.
    5. Teachers should teach them to navigate from one page to another page by clicking on URLs as well as by using backward and forward arrows.
    6. Show that URLs look different from other text.
    7. Show students that there are multiple different browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox etc.
    8. Help and guide them to search and save a specific picture or information. Show them multiple search engines as well (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.)
    9. Teach them to open a new tab in the browser window and surf another information in that new tab.
    10. Ask students to think about how Google knows everything in the world. You can explain how Google “crawls” the Internet every few months. i.e. finds all the active domain names and checks if there is a web server in that domain name and follows all the links in the website to build a LARGE database of all web pages. In each page it reads it to find out all the key words used in the page. It also finds the traffic to various websites to prioritise important ones from unimportant ones.
