🌐 Classroom Update: Exploring the Internet vs. the World Wide Web 🌐 Today, Mrs Young's students are diving into an interactive activity to better understand the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web. They’re using a fun, hands-on learning experience that’s guided by a Learning AI, encouraging student-led exploration and critical thinking. What the students are working on today: They will explore an online resource to learn about the Internet and the World Wide Web. Students will take notes, interact with the content, and engage with the Learning AI to help guide their discovery. Afterward, they will reflect on the difference between the two in their digital notebooks or in the comments on Canvas. This activity is part of our ongoing focus on X-Plore (CKH), where we empower students to take initiative and responsibility in their learning. By using AI to enhance the hands-on experience, we’re helping students become more resourceful and independent in their educational journey. Learning Outcome: By the end of the activity, students will be able to explain the difference between the Internet (the global network connecting devices) and the World Wide Web (the system used to browse websites), with examples Thank you for your continued support in your child's learning journey! 🙌💻 #TechLearning #StudentLed #CKH #ClassroomUpdate
