Lesson 2 of 8
What a web address says
Show on a big screenA poster shows a web address. A slash (/) splits it in two parts. Why two parts?
Step 1 of 3
- cityschool.example/timetable
- Before the slash: which computer.
- After the slash: which page.
An address has two parts because one computer holds many pages.
A web address is public on purpose. It tells a phone where to ask. It does not say where a person lives.
Rule: The part before the slash names the computer. The part after it names the page.
A dot (.) in a name is part of the name. Only the slash splits the address.
Real addresses often start with https://. Skip that part.
Read each address. Tap what the part names.
