EF.7 Understand the Internet
Understanding what the internet and web are
In My Life
I can download videos to my device to watch when traveling and don't have internet access.
In My Work
I can make work files available offline so can continue editing even without internet access.
In My Education
I can test which apps will work offline turning Wi-Fi off temporarily.
As a Teacher/Trainer
I can be mindful of learners with limited access and provide options for working offline when making assignments.
