--- title: "Exploring Computer Networks" url: "https://www.stmarysjarrow.co.uk/news/2024-01-30-exploring-computer-networks" school: "St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Jarrow" --- # Exploring Computer Networks 30 January 2024 Year 5 have been exploring computer networks and how they work. We thought about our own personal network and how everyone connected to us can be connected to each other, then we linked this to how computers work. Finally, the children explored what a network switch is and how having this is an effective way of passing messages across computers.
