// What this unit was about

Unit 1 covers how the internet and online services work in the real world. I studied three main areas: online services and digital communication, how the internet is built and how data is exchanged, and the problems that come with working online.

I completed this unit using the KnowItAll Ninja learning platform, which included lessons, tasks and quizzes for each module. All three Learning Aims were fully completed.

The work for this unit is saved as a PNG screenshot showing the completed modules on the platform.
