Article: Internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Internet map

The Internet is a large group of computers that are connected to each other. The Internet is used to send information quickly between computers around the world. It has millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks and websites, which together carry many different kinds of information (facts and details) and services. So in other words, the Internet is a network of networks.

History[change | change source]

The Internet was developed in the United States by the "United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency" (DARPA). It was first connected in October, 1969.^[1] The World Wide Web was created at CERN in Switzerland in 1989 by a British (UK) man named Tim Berners-Lee.

Today, people can pay money to access the Internet from Internet Service Providers. Some services on the Internet cost nothing to use. Sometimes the people who offer these free services use advertising to make money from them. The alternative (other) name, "Net" came from "Inter(net)".

Services on the Internet[change | change source]

The Internet is used for many things, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.

The most used service on the Internet is the World Wide Web (which is also called the "Web"). The Web contains websites, blogs, and also wikis like Wikipedia. Webpages on the internet can be seen and read by anyone unless the page needs a password, or it is blocked.

The second major use of the Internet is to send and receive e-mail. E-mail is private and goes from one user to another. Instant messaging (such as AIM or ICQ) is similar to email, but allows two or more people to chat to each other much faster.

Some governments think the Internet is a bad thing, and block all or part of it. For example, the Chinese government thinks that Wikipedia is bad. Many times no one in China can read it or add to it.^[2] Some parents block parts of the Internet they think are bad for children to see. Well-known examples of the whole Internet being blocked are in North Korea^[3] and Myanmar.

Dangers on the Internet[change | change source]

The Internet can also be a dangerous place. Information that people put on the Internet is not always checked, and some information may not be true. Some information may even be harmful. Also, if someone sends information through the internet, sometimes other people can read it even when they are not supposed to. For example, Facebook has had some problems with privacy settings. Internet users can post information online, but this can be bad idea unless the person is very sure of what they are doing. A good way to check for a secure website is to make sure the URL starts with https:// instead of http://, this means it is a secure site. This only stops other people from reading what a user types. It does not mean the website is safe.

• Some websites may trick people into downloading viruses that can harm a computer or spyware that spies on its users (looks at what they are doing and tells someone else). E-mails can also have harmful files with them as "attachments".^[4]
• In Internet chatrooms, people might be preying on others or trying to stalk or abuse them.
• The Internet contains content that people may find offensive such as pornography, as well as content intended to be offensive.

Study Skills Level One Lesson

Study Skills Level One Lesson

Who is in charge of your learning?

1. Your teachers
2. Your parents
3. You

The answer is…...You!

Your parents may help, your teachers may help, but in the end, whether you remember what you learn or let it fly out of your brain forever-- that’s up to you.

So how do you make the most of your learning? Here are some basic skills you need in order to make sure you are studying well.

1. Alemanaka: Use a to-do list or a Calendar. Your alemanaka is great for this! Write down everything that you need to do. When you finish it, CROSS IT OFF. If you haven’t done it at the end of the week, copy over all of the unfinished things and put them at top priority for the next week. That way you’ll never wonder, “What do I have to do….?” It’s all right there at your fingertips.

2. Multiple Intelligence: Play to your strengths. When you go home with the assignment to get ready for a test or study or notes, use your multiple intelligence strengths to look over the information. If you are studying for a science test and you love art, redraw your written notes as illustrations! If you are studying English vocabulary and your strength is music, make up a song to review the new words. Use your strengths to make the information your own.

3. SQ3R: When you are reading, using the SQ3R strategy. This means: Survey, Question, Read, wRite, and Review. Stories are pretty easy to read by just jumping in. But informational texts can take more work to understand. Before you start, Survey what you’re going to read. Are there text boxes? Are there titles? Are there captions? Are there words that seem to be repeated often? Next, ask yourself Questions about the content. What questions do you think will be answered as you read? Next, Read the passage. Then Write down the main ideas in each section.  Last, Review what you read and the main ideas, as if you are getting ready to present them to somebody else.
   
   
4. Cornell Notes: In class we use this format, but you should use this format any time you want to really learn new information.  Here are the main parts of Cornell Note Taking:
1. Title and Date. This makes it easy to find the information you need later when you are reviewing your notes.
2. Big Questions. In the left column, write down the big, important questions that are answered in your notes.
3. Big Conclusions: In the right column, write down the big, important conclusions. You can add some evidence and support as well, but make sure to focus on the BIG ideas.
4. Summary: At the bottom of every page of notes, summarize what you learned.

Use these strategies to improve your study habits! Good luck! Take the study skills Level 1 Quiz to see how well you’re able to use these to learn new things.

Study Skills QUIZ: Following Directions

Study Skills: Following Directions

Study Skills: Following Directions

What’s the most important part of doing your assignments, taking tests, taking prescription medicine, paying your taxes, filling out job applications and putting together furniture? Following directions!

Many of us like to just “wing it”-- start in on something without reading the instructions. For some things, this is a great approach. BUT for other things, the difference between following the directions and not can be life and death.

Don’t risk it! Practice reading all the directions now!

So how do you read directions well?

Start by looking at the big picture. Notice all of the writing on a text. Is there a title? Is there fine print? Is there a list? Is there a front and a back?

Then, BEFORE YOU START, READ EVERYTHING.

Then, read it again, CAREFULLY. Make sure you understand exactly what it is you need to do.

If you’re reading a prescription bottle, don’t take the medicine until you’ve read all the directions. If you’re taking a test, don’t answer the test question until you’ve read all the answers.

So that’s it! That’s the key! Learn to follow directions by

• looking at the big picture
• read everything first
• read the directions again carefully before beginning.

Go take the quiz to make sure you know how to follow directions.

I. Study Skills Quiz: Multiple Intelligences

I. Study Skills: The Theory of Multiple Intelligence

The Theory of Multiple Intelligence

Different ways of learning.

Some people may learn new things by saying them outloud, by writing them over and over, by visualizing them, or practicing with their hands. EVERYONE can learn-- and we all learn differently. A researcher named Howard Gardner realized that the different ways people learn correspond to different parts of the brain. Individuals use different parts of their brains more frequently. Body, people, word, logic, nature, self, picture, and music are the different strengths. This is called the “theory of multiple intelligence.”

How can understanding multiple intelligence help you?

If you know what your strengths are, you can strategize your learning and studying. Are you body smart? When you study your vocabulary words, you can act them out with your body. Are you nature smart? You can relate your vocab to things you see outside. Are you self smart? You can use your words to describe your personal thoughts and feelings.

So what do you think YOUR strengths are?
Take the next quiz to find out. Then consider how knowing your strengths can help you in school and beyond.

Spelling Level 3

Spelling Level 3

Spelling Rules for Everyone

Short and Long Vowels

A Short vowel sound in English is similar to Hawaiian vowel sounds: cat, bet, dig, dog, dug.

A Long vowel sound is when the vowels say their own names: Babe, cape, hide, rode, rude.

1. To spell a short vowel sound, only one letter is needed:

                at        red         it         hot        up

2. To spell a long sound you must add a second vowel.

--The second may be next to the first, in the VVC pattern (boat, maid, cue, etc.)

--or it may be separated from the first one by a consonant in the VCV pattern (made, ride, tide, etc.).

Adding Endings (also known as Suffixes)

There are two kinds of suffixes, those that begin with a vowel and those that begin with a consonant. As usual, the spelling problems occur with the vowels:

Vowel Suffixes			Consonant Suffixes
- - - age	- - -ist		- - - ness	- - - cess
- - - ant	- - - ish		- - -less	- - -ment
- - -ance	- - -ing		- - -ly	- - -ty
- - - al	- - -ar		- - -ful	- - -ry
- - -ism	- - -o		- - -hood	- - -ward
- - -able	- - -on		- - -wise
- - -an	- - -ous
- - - a	- - -or
- - -es	- - -ual
- - -ed	- - -unt
- - -er	- - -um
- - -est	- - -us
- - -y	- - -ive

1. Words that end in the letter y must have the y changed to i before adding any suffix:

body - bodily	marry - marriage
many - manifold	family -  familiar
happy - happiness	puppy - puppies
beauty - beautiful	vary - various
company - companion	fury - furious
plenty - plentiful	merry - merriment

2. In words that end in a silent e you must drop it before you add a vowel suffix. The silent e is no longer needed to make the preceding vowel long as the incoming vowel will do the trick:

ride - riding	cure - curable	use - usual	age - aging
fame - famous	force - forcing	refuse -  refusal	slice - slicing
pure - purity	ice - icicle	nose - nosy	convince - convincing
globe - global	race - racist	pole - polar	offense - offensive

3. Adding consonant suffixes is easy. You just add them. (Of course you must change a final y to i before you add any suffix.)

peace - peaceful	harm - harmless	age - ageless
pity - pitiful	child - childhood	rifle - riflery

/sh/

When this sound occurs before a vowel suffix, it is spelled ti, si, or ci.

partial	cautious	patient	vacation
special	deficient	suspicion	suction
inertia	delicious	ratio	pension
musician	physician	optician	quotient
electrician	nutrition	statistician	expulsion

/ee/ before a vowel suffix

When /ee/ precedes a vowel suffix, it is usually spelled with the letter i:

Indian	obvious	medium
ingredient	zodiac	material

Spelling from  Word Meaning

1. Mist and missed sound alike, as do band and banned. To determine the spelling, remember that -ed is a past-tense tending.

1. The mist drifted into the harbor.
2. I nearly missed my bus.
3. The movie was banned in Boston.
4. The band played on.

2. The endings of dentist and finest sound alike. Deciding which one to use can be tricky. One rule helps but doesn't cover all cases:

1. --ist is a suffix meaning someone who does something:  artist -   machinist -   druggist
2. --est is the ending used on superlative adjectives:  finest -   sweetest -   longest

3. The sounds at the end of musician and condition sound alike. but....

1. cian always means a person, where...
2. tion or sion are never used for people.

4. The plural ending is always spelled with a single letter s unless you can hear a new syllable on the plural word. In that case, use -es:

loss, losses	bank, banks	twitch, twitches	tree, trees
box, boxes	list, lists	judge, judges
