 Networking sites

 

The Story:

     You are sitting in Mr. D.s class and struggling to memorize this OSI chart. You get frustrated and are wondering why even bother.  So you look up information about networking jobs and information about networking.   Then you research and find a site that explains the OSI model a different way.

THE TASK:

Investigate each site and write a paragraph about each. Include: 

         Start with the title of site and the URL.

• What is the site about?
• What information does it have?
• Do you think it is current? Is there a way to tell if the information is current? Is the information “static”?
• What information was new to you?
• What information is important to you and why?
