Network Safety
Imagine sitting in the computer lab and watching all the systems connect to the Internet at the
same time. The devices link through the school network, the router manages the connection and
information moves from one place to another. At home the same thing happens when a phone
or computer joins the private Wi-Fi, while in public places the network may not be as secure.
This chapter explains how devices connect through networks and how to stay safe while using
different types of Wi-Fi. Let’s learn how these digital tools work together to keep us connected.
“Every device in the lab connects through the school network,
just like a team working together.”

Digital devices play an important role in everyday life. They help with communication, schoolwork,
hobbies and entertainment. These devices come in many forms and each one has its own purpose.
Some devices are used for learning, some for creating content and others for staying in touch with
people. Knowing how these devices work makes it easier to use them in the right way.
