Year 8 · 15 min · 1 device per student

Year 8 met the basics of networks last lesson. Today is a 15-minute vocabulary recap before next lesson's hands-on activity, where they will build a paired network model with cables and a switch. The teacher has built a Quizizz of 12 networking vocabulary terms covering devices (router, switch, server) and concepts (LAN, WAN, IP address, packet, protocol, bandwidth).

Students self-pace through the questions on their iPads. The class scoreboard appears for ten seconds at the end with no individual call-out. The teacher reviews the question-level analytics on the staff dashboard and re-explains any term that scored under 70%, before the lesson moves to the hands-on activity in the second half.
