Lesson Introduction: The World of E-Commerce

Hook: A Virtual Shopping Experience

Imagine walking into your favorite store, but instead of physical shelves and aisles, you’re greeted by a virtual landscape where the products you love come to life on your screen. What if you could not only browse but interact with those items, see how they fit into your home, and instantly share them with your friends—all from the comfort of your couch? Welcome to the world of e-commerce, where shopping has transformed thanks to technology!

Understanding E-Commerce: A Brief Overview

E-commerce, short for electronic commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods or services using the Internet. This trend has revolutionized how businesses operate and engage with customers. In today’s lesson, we'll dive deep into several aspects of e-commerce, including:

• Types of E-Commerce: Exploring business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C)
• Platforms and Technologies: Understanding the digital tools that drive online shopping experiences
• Impact on Traditional Retail: Analyzing how e-commerce has affected brick-and-mortar stores and consumer behavior

Engage with a Quick Activity

Before we jump into our discussions, let’s engage in a quick brainstorming session!

Think-Pair-Share Activity:

1. Think: Take one minute to think about your last online shopping experience. What platform did you use? What made that experience enjoyable or frustrating?
2. Pair: Find a partner and share your experiences. Discuss what features you find most important in an online shopping platform.
3. Share: We’ll reconvene as a class, and I’ll invite a few pairs to share their thoughts and insights.

By understanding your personal experiences with e-commerce, you'll grasp the relevance and impact of this topic in the real world. Let's begin our exploration into the vast realm of e-commerce!
