Finding Your Place in the Network What are networks and how do I connect to them? By Erin Hatfield EDTECH 541 Boise State University

What is a Network? A network is two or more computers linked together Can include more than just computers  Printers  Scanners  Copiers  iPads

What does a Network do? Allow computers to communicate Shared drives and shared folders Share files, internet connections, printers, etc.

What makes up a Network? At least two computers Router Software A path for the information to take (usually cable)

Router Directs information Share Internet

Software Usually comes with computer District purchased Novel

The Path Ethernet cord  Faster  More secure  Less mobility Wireless  More mobility  Cleaner appearance  Slower

How It all Fits Together

What We See We have to connect the Ethernet Cord from the computer to the Network outlet Or enter the wireless password
