This Computing scheme of work video introduces pupils to networks and how they connect devices like computers, tablets, and phones to share information. Children explore how networks support everyday activities such as video calls, online gaming, and searching the internet.

The video explains the internet as a very large network and uses the image of a spider’s web to show how networks grow as more devices are added. Pupils also learn about different types of networks, including home networks, school networks and the global internet and how firewalls help keep them safe.
