CONTENT: FILE SHARING
File sharing is the practice of sharing or offering access to digital information or resources, including documents, multimedia (audio/video), graphics, computer programs, images, and e-books.
File sharing can be done using several methods. The most common techniques for file storage, distribution, and transmission include the following:
- Removable storage devices
- Centralized file hosting server installations on networks
- World Wide Web-oriented hyperlinked documents
- Distributed peer-to-peer networks
- Computer Network
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams. A network is defined as a group of two or more computer systems linked together.
Computer networks allow you to share information with friends, family, coworkers, and customers. Network file sharing is the process of copying data files from one computer to another using a live network connection.
Before the Internet and home networks became popular, data files were often shared using floppy disks. Nowadays, some people still use CD-ROM / DVD-ROM disks and USB sticks for transferring their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options.
Types of Network
- Personal Area Network – The smallest and most basic type of network.
- Local Area Network – A connection that’s used for groups of computers.
- Metropolitan Area Network – A more powerful version of the local area network where it can cover up the whole city in terms of connection.
- Wide Area Network – This is a common type of network nowadays that’s made possible by wireless technology.
Types of Network Topology
- The layout of the connected devices is known as a network topology.This is important because this is used to provide a proper flow of data within the said network. Here are the various topologies:
- Bus – This is the type of structure that uses a single medium to connect the computer.
- Ring – Each computer is connected to another neighboring computer for data transfer. One failed network can cause all networks to turn off.
- Star – This is a structure that’s common in homes. It uses a certain hub or a router to make the network possible.
- Tree – This is a complicated structure that connects the star into multiple buses. This is common for internet cafes and offices.
- Mesh – this is a connection that leads to various data transmissions which are perfect for routing huge networks.
STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES:
The activity I: Teacher leads by asking the student to define and explain file sharing.
Student Activity II: Teacher explains the meaning of file sharing.
Class Activity III: The teacher leads by explaining the key vocabulary in the class such as Bluetooth, xender.
Activity IV: The teacher will summarize the topic and make the necessary correction to the learners’ discussion.
ASSESSMENT (EVALUATION)
Learners provide answers to this question to check their understanding of the topic.
Mention 5 types of networks, Name three types of network topology
ASSIGNMENTS: What is computer ethics?
