What are loop cards?

Loop cards are a great game that can be played individually or as a class. They are perfect for review key vocabulary or questions at the end of a topic or when revising for an exam.

Instructions

  1. Cut out the cards from the paper horizontally (but don't cut them in half!) and then shuffle them.
  2. Now start joining each question on the right hand side of the card to the matching answer on the next card.
  3. Carry on until all the cards loop together and you have competed the game!

Hint: Make sure that you set your paper to portrait to print 4 cards per sheet of A4 paper.

LANs typically have higher data transfer rates and are more secure than other types of networks.
How does network congestion impact data transmission speeds?
Network congestion can cause data packets to be delayed or lost, resulting in slower data transmission speeds.
What is demodulation?
It is the process of extracting the information from a modulated carrier wave at the receiver.
Why are protocols and data packets important in computer networks?
Protocols and data packets allow devices to communicate with each other in a standardized and efficient manner.
What are some advantages of lossless compression?
Original data can be reconstructed exactly, no loss of information.
What are the advantages of using VPNs?
VPNs can provide secure access to resources on a company's network from anywhere in the world, and can help protect against attacks on public networks.
What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
VPNs are secure, encrypted connections between two or more devices over the internet. They allow remote users to access a network securely from outside locations.
What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which is used to transfer files between devices in a computer network.
What is the purpose of TCP/IP?
TCP/IP is used to facilitate communication between devices in a computer network.
What is a network protocol in a wireless network?
