Understanding URLs Lesson
This lesson is designed to help students become aware of the different domain suffixes in a web site address ( [|URL] or Universal/Uniform Resource Locator ), and more specifically, the type of organizations that each domain suffix represents. Knowing about the types of organizations associated with domain suffixes can help students become more discerning web users. (http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/21stcent/lurl.html)
