Classroom Activities:(35 min )

Introduction

• Start with a brief discussion about how devices in a network are connected.
• Ask students if they have heard the term "network topology" and if they know what it means.

• Introduce the concept of network topology as the arrangement of different elements (links, nodes, etc.) in a computer network.
• Explain that network topology influences the efficiency and reliability of a network.

Types of Network Topologies

Present information about common types of network topologies:

• Bus Topology
• Star Topology
• Ring Topology
• Mesh Topology
• Hybrid Topology

Discuss the characteristics of each topology and how devices are connected in each.

Advantages and Disadvantages

• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of network topology.
• Encourage students to think about the practical implications of choosing a specific topology for a network.

Group Activity

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Assign each group a type of network topology.
• Ask them to discuss and come up with a list of scenarios where their assigned network topology would be most effective.

Conclusion:(5min)

• Summarize the main points discussed during the lesson.
• Emphasize the importance of selecting an appropriate network topology based on specific network requirements.

Evaluation:(5min)

• Ask students to reflect on which network topology they find most interesting or suitable for different scenarios.

• Assign a short writing task where students describe a hypothetical network for a given scenario, specifying the network topology they would choose and explaining their reasoning.
