HTML, 5th Edition
Chapter One: Introduction to HTML
A Guide to this Instructor’s Manual:
We have designed this Instructor’s Manual to supplement and enhance your teaching experience
through classroom activities and a cohesive chapter summary.
This document is organized chronologically, using the same heading in red that you see in the
textbook. Under each heading you will find (in order): Lecture Notes that summarize the section,
Figures and Boxes found in the section, if any, Teacher Tips, Classroom Activities, and Lab
Activities. Pay special attention to teaching tips, and activities geared towards quizzing your
students, enhancing their critical thinking skills, and encouraging experimentation within the
software.
In addition to this Instructor’s Manual, our Instructor’s Resources CD also contains PowerPoint
Presentations, Test Banks, and other supplements to aid in your teaching experience.
For your students:
Our latest online feature, CourseCasts, is a library of weekly podcasts designed to keep your
students up to date with the latest in technology news. Direct your students to
http://coursecasts.course.com, where they can download the most recent CourseCast onto their
mp3 player. Ken Baldauf, host of CourseCasts, is a faculty member of the Florida State University
Computer Science Department where he is responsible for teaching technology classes to
thousands of FSU students each year. Ken is an expert in the latest technology and sorts through
and aggregates the most pertinent news and information for CourseCasts so your students can
spend their time enjoying technology, rather than trying to figure it out. Open or close your lecture
with a discussion based on the latest CourseCast.

HTML 2: Introduction
LECTURE NOTES
Introduce the Internet as the world's largest network
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
1. Group Activity: Explain that the Internet is more than just the World Wide Web; it
also includes FTP (file transfer protocol), newsgroups, and e-mail technologies, among
other things. Survey students about their use of the range of Internet technologies.
3. Quick Quiz:

200 million)
HTML 2: What is the Internet?
LECTURE NOTES
Define the Internet and use Figure 1-1 to illustrate the connections that support
the Internet
Define network and Internet backbone
, Define Internet service provider (ISP), and use Figure 1-2 to illustrate some of the
services available via the Internet
FIGURES: 1-1, 1-2
TEACHER TIPS
Explain that the Internet, often known simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of
computer networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission,
get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at
other computers). The following background may be of interest to your students:
Originated in 1969 by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S.
government, the Internet was originally called the ARPANET. At the outset, the goal of
the ARPANET was to build a network that would allow users of a research computer at
one university to be able to connect to research computers at other universities.
Because it permitted messages to be routed or rerouted in more than one direction,
an ancillary benefit of ARPANET's design was that, because the network could
continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack
or other disaster. The Internet is now a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility
accessible to hundreds of millions of people around the world, using a portion of the
total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks.
As you explain networks, discuss that in information technology, a network is defined
as a series of nodes interconnected by communication paths. Networks can
interconnect with other networks and also can contain subnetworks. On the Internet
(or other wide area network), a backbone is a set of paths that local or regional
networks connect to for long-distance interconnection; the connection points are
known as telecommunication data switching exchanges (DSEs) or network nodes.
As you define what an ISP is, explain that an ISP provides individuals and other
companies access to the Internet and other related services such as Web site building
and virtual hosting. An ISP has the equipment and the telecommunication line access
required to have a point-of-presence on the Internet for the geographic area served.
Larger ISPs have their own high-speed leased lines so that they are less dependent on
the telecommunication providers and can provide better service to their customers.
Online service providers (OSPs) such as America Online are another avenue of
providing access to Internet users.
