Sixth graders learn that a web address is not one long blur but a set of parts that each do a job, from the protocol to the path, and match every part to what it means.
Students will be able to…
A web address like https://www.example.com/pages/info can look like one long blur, but each piece has a job. What does every part of a URL tell your browser?
Project this and match each part of a web address to what it does — tap a part, then tap its job.
