Computer Science	VIII	Concept Of Network Topology	4th	45 Minutes

Specific Objective:

At the end of this class,

Students will understand the concept of network topologies, identify common topologies.

Students will analyze their advantages and disadvantages.

Teaching Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and computer for multimedia presentation
• Diagrams of network topologies
• https://www.techtarget.com/
• Paper and pens for group activity

Introduction (5 minutes):

• Start with a brief review of the previous lesson on network components.
• Ask students to recall some of the components they learned about and how they contribute to a network.
• Introduce the objective: "Today, we will explore the different ways in which devices in a network can be connected, known as network topologies."

Body (35 minutes):

1. Presentation (15 minutes):

• Use multimedia tools to explain the concept of network topologies.
• Discuss common network topologies: Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid.
• Explain the characteristics and functionalities of each topology.
• Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each topology.

2. Class Discussion and Q&A (10 minutes):

• Facilitate a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of different network topologies.
• Encourage students to ask questions and express their thoughts on which topology might be suitable for specific scenarios.

3. Group Activity (5 minutes):

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Assign each group a specific scenario (e.g., a small office, a large company, a school) and ask them to discuss and decide on the most appropriate network topology for that scenario.
• Groups can present their choices to the class, explaining their reasoning.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Summarize the key points about each network topology.
• Emphasize the importance of choosing an appropriate topology based on the requirements of a specific network.
• Connect the concept to real-world examples to reinforce understanding.

Assessment:

• Evaluate student participation in discussions and the quality of group presentations.
• Monitor group activities to ensure students understand the practical application of different network topologies.
