This Quizlet Study Set contains Elementary (K-5) vocabulary from the "Networking and the Internet" strand of the Virginia Standards of Learning for Computer Science. Students can study the flashcards and play games to test themselves on the terms.
The following resources is a link that will allow the user to play a matching game from Flippity.net using the vocabulary words from the Comptuer Science SOL 4.18-The student will identify and explain different ways information can be transmitted using computing devices via a network (e.g., email, images, and videos).

Computers use sorting to direct information across a network. This activity is a simulated representation of how a computer might sort information through a network. Students will compare decimals and place them in boxes along the guiding arrows. Each box will contain 2 decimals. Students are to compare the two decimals in each box, then move the greater decimal forward to the next box on the right, The lesser decimal will be moved to the next box on the left. Each time the decimals are moved forward, the decimals in the boxes are compared and then moved to the appropriate box according to the rule (lesser: left, greater: right).Once each number has been moved to the circles at the top of end of the sort, the decimals should be in order from least to greatest. This is a variation of the activity foud here: https://www.csunplugged.org/en/resources/sorting-network/
This interactive lesson teaches middle school students about how information is delivered via the internet. Students will review/ be introduced to vocabulary words, gain an understanding of packets and servers, and be challenged with different internet connectivity (Wi-Fi, cable, DSL, and Fiber Optic) as they work together as a team to deliver a message to another IP address.
This lesson has been slightly adapted from the original version from Code.org. All the links and copyright information are included in the lesson. The teacher is able to use the original or the premade materials from this document.

From welding and paint simulators to virtually designing and creating parts for ships, this video explores how the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School incorporates computer modeling and simulations to give apprentices hands-on experience in a safe and clean environment.
In this activity, students will develop an idea for a new website they will create to practice their new web accessibility knowledge & development skills. Students will assess what sorts of websites they might create to serve as a platform for information sharing, serving the needs of a particular user group in their school or community, or curating resources around a particular topic.
In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between website file size, request volume, and internet speed. They will then unpack how website design impacts accessibility for web users with slow or unreliable internet, outdated computers, or other constraints that lead to information access issues.
In this activity, students will write code that includes semantic HTML elements, and explore how semantic HTML helps make HTML easier to read, and increases the accessibility of websites for people who use screen readers and other assistive technologies.
In this activity, students will create and share websites designed in the previous Web Design Ideation lesson. They will reflect on their efforts, share assessments of their successes and challenges, and evaluate the affordances and constraints of web design as a problem-solving tool.
Students will be shown a YouTube Video about different types of electronic communication. There will then be a whole class discussion about 3 specific types (e-mail, social media, and text messages). They will then be given individual LCD tablets and asked to either write A (Email), B (Social Media), or C (Text Messages) for what they would use to send information in certain scenarios that the teacher gives. The teacher will have 3 cards made with A and a picture of email on it, B and a picture of social media platforms on it, and C with a picture of a cell phone on it to help guide students and remind them what to write on their panels. They will hold these up when they are done and a discussion will be done of each scenario.
This lesson includes slides to present a lesson on email ettiquette for students.
Students will explore the continents and oceans by using playdough maps, felt maps, and coloring to help them locate and remember their locations.
Lessons designed by experts to help students develop skills needed to navigate the digital world, critically consume information and responsibly produce and share content. The source touts that they are designed to be interactive and engaging, these lessons involve group discussion, activities, quizzes, and games that have been built in consultation with teens. They can be used either collectively or individually in the classroom.
