The World Wide Web (WWW) is a service available on the internet is a collection of links that make it easy to connect to web pages. A web page is synonomous with an electronic document. a web site is a collection of related web pages. They have a starting page, a home page, and then has links to other web pages that are related and provide extra information. The unique address to get to each web page called a uniform resource locator (URL). In general URL's begin with http:// which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. You view web pages through a Web browser which is a software program. A web server provides the requested web pages when you type them in the address bar.

This section is fairly applicable to the educational career. It is very useful to know how websites and webpages operate. Now I should be able to create a class website and be able to help students in a more efficient manner outside of class. I thought that all of this information is very interesting as I was not aware of most of it before. It's good to know all this for general life too. Since technology is becoming more prevalent in our society.
