Que:5 Long Answer Type Questions.
Q:1 Explain any four online search techniques.
Ans: When we search information using search engines, we can make our search more effective by using certain search techniques. Here are some key search techniques:
· Using specific keywords: Keywords are the search terms that we use to find the contents on the Internet. Keep keywords as specific as possible.
· Using Quotation Marks: When we enclose the search term in quotation marks, the search engine will search only for that particular word or phrase on the web. It will not show results with similar words.
· Search for a specific site: When we want to limit our search to a specific site, we can search using ‘site:’. For example: site: www.pseb.ac "result" will show all the pages
from www.pseb.ac.in in which the word "result" is written.
· Related site search: Another useful operator is ‘related:’. Type it in front of a web address that we already know about. For example: related: abc.com. It will show all the websites that are similar to abc.com

Ans: Social networking means staying connected with friends, family members,
colleagues or customers using Internet-based social media sites. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram are some of the important social media sites:
· Facebook: Facebook is the largest social media site. Many people use it for social or commercial purposes. We can share our content on Facebook in various formats such as text, images, videos, live videos, and stories. To use Facebook, we need to create an account on it.
· YouTube: YouTube is a video sharing platform. We can create our own YouTube channel where we can create and upload videos. People who watch videos are able to like,
share and comment on our videos.
Q:4 How can we identify secure sites? Explain padlock symbol also.
Ans: Not every website is reliable and secure. An unsafe website
can spread malware, steal our information, send spam and much more. There are generally two ways to ensure that we are on a secure website:
· The first sign of a
secure website is that the site's address begins with https://. HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol Over Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The site's SSL certificate protects the information that we are sending to the site.
· Another sign of a
secure website is the Closed Padlock sign that appears on it. Internet data travels from a beginning point to its destination
via multiple routes. At each point in the journey, it is possible
that someone steal and read the data. A closed padlock
indicates that the connection between the web browser and the website has been encrypted to prevent spying. When we click on the closed padlock
it will show us a message that says: “Connection is Secure”
