• WAN’s are when several LAN’s are connected together.
• Key difference between a LAN and a WAN is that a company doesn’t own all the pathways between the computers = data has to leave the LAN area.
• (ie: Bank of America has several offices across the country that share data)
• LAN’s have several computers that are physically connected to one another via a central hub called a switch.
• LAN’s include a server and a shared printer.
• (ie: The Academic Skills Lab at ACC)
TWO TYPES OF NETWORKS
Local Area Networks (LAN) Wide Area Networks (WAN)

THE INTERNET
• World Wide Web (www)
• Is a collection of hypertext files, containing graphics, audio, and video that can be accessed on the Internet.
• Electronic Mail (e-mail)
• Uses its own protocols to route a message between computers on the Internet and hold it at a destination mail server until the recipient picks it up.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Is an information workspace on the Internet. It is used for file transfer.

EMAIL ETIQUETTE AND COMPUTER ETHICS
![Page 21: Information Technology Essentials](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/5584587dd8b42a7f1d8b4690/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Etiquette – are the rules that govern courteous behavior, such as holding the door open for someone.
• When applied to emails, improper etiquette can result in serious misunderstandings and ill will among people.
• Ethics – are the moral principles that govern behavior. These are the rules we use to determine what is right from wrong.
• Ethics should be thought of when one thinks of copyright laws and piracy acts.

WHAT’S MOODLE, ACCESS EMAIL, AND WEBADVISOR?
• In this class, we are going to use Moodle on a regular basis to submit your assignments.
• Also, communication with your instructor is key. The best way to contact me is via email (Access Email provided to you from ACC). I will send you emails every so often and it is your responsibility to check your email regularly. This is a good habit to get into in the Information Technology Age.
• WebAdvisor is a website that helps you register for classes, request transcripts, and is what I like to call the GPS for your degree/major.
• With that said, lets become more familiar with these websites
• First, lets set up your Access accounts if you have not done so already and log into WebAdvisor.
