Internet and networks vocabulary worksheet

Happy half term everyone!

I can see on Twitter most teachers are working throughout this half term, as am I. I am writing a year 9 Computing unit on Communication and the Internet, so I thought I'd take a break to share a resource with you that I have just created. If this was printed it would still be warm!

It's a matching activity for some Internet and network key terms.


It could be used for ICT as well as Computing. You could either use it as a worksheet or cut it out for the kinaesthetic learners. Might be a nice little starter, plenary or homework activity.

Here is the resource.
