Date 03/16/20 25 Title Understanding Network Transmission Media Learning objectives: • To understand the characteristics of different wired and wireless transmission media, their advantages, disadvantages, and how they transmit signals Success criteria:
✔ Describe how wireless and wired
transmission media work. ✔ Compare the physical characteristics of different media. ✔ Explain how signals are carried through each medium. Possible misconceptions and barriers: •🚫All wireless technologies function the same way. •Correction: Wireless media differ in range, speed, and interference resistance. Discussion • 💬 students: • How does Wi-Fi reach your phone? • Why do some people use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi? • How do satellites send internet signals to remote areas? Wireless Transmission Media Wired Transmission Media Tasks • 2️⃣Guided Research one wired and one wireless • research a transmission medium (e.g., satellite vs. fibre optic) and present: • How it transmits data – in more detail • Advantages and disadvantages we already did this….. • Example usage (e.g., rural internet, gaming, businesses) 3️⃣Debate: Wired vs. Wireless (10 min) • Class splits into two teams: • Team Wired argues why wired networks are better. • Team Wireless argues why wireless networks are better. 📌Plenary: • Quickfire Quiz: “Which transmission medium is best for gaming?” • Exit Ticket: “What is the best transmission medium for businesses, and why?
