Networking

= = =Computer Networks= You will be working in groups on this outcome. Each group is to keep a visual record of their learning in the form of posters and the wiki. Your SAC will be done individually. = Outcome 2: T o represent a networked information system within an organisation and describe the way a specified set of data flows through the system, where it is stored and where it is processed. =

Key Skills required to complete this outcome
• identify types of networks within organisations and briefly explain why they are used in those settings; • use web authoring or multimedia authoring software, and where appropriate image editing software, and select and apply suitable functions and design elements to visually represent the equipment and the key sources of data used in networked information systems • document the logical designs of networked information systems; • annotate visual representations (physical designs) of networks to show storage points, processing points, security points, and where appropriate, animate the representations to show data flows.

Please create a new page for your group here and add a link to here. On your group page keep a record of useful information such as who is doing what, useful links, upload group assignments etc. Also on your group page add links to your new individual pages to record your individual progress and learning

In groups using project paper establish prior knowledge of What is a network? Can you draw it? What hardware makes up a network? What software makes up a network? What is the point of a network?
 * Task1 - Establishing Prior Knowledge**

To develop your understanding of Network Topology, Hardware and Software** As a group you must complete the activities on the attached sheet. Decide how you are going to do this and how you are going to present your knowledge. Preread the sheet as a group create KWL chart before you begin the task
 * Task 2

Learning the tools used to represent a network** As a group you must complete the activities on the attached sheet. Decide how you are going to do this and how you are going to present your knowledge. Preread the sheet as a group create KWL chart before you begin the task
 * Task 3

Architecture and Hardware** As a group complete the following task
 * Task 4

This practise sac is very similar to the actua sac. Use the wiki to complete the tasks below. This will mean you have an online study tool and it will help those who are on the OEd excursion today
 * Sac Preparation [[file:U2O2_SAC2_Surry_Partners example.doc]][[file:U2O2_Assessment.doc]]**
 * 1) As a group read the practice sac.
 * 2) Discuss what is required to complete the sac
 * 3) Decide which parts of the sac individuals can and cannot do.
 * 4) As a team use this session to ensure that each member of the team can complete each section
 * 5) Create study hints on your group wiki to help you.
