.edu (second-level domain)

Okay, imagine there are different kinds of websites on the internet. One type of website is for schools, colleges, and universities. These websites have a special "domain name" that ends in ".edu".

Now, a domain name is just like your home address. It tells the internet where to find your website. So, when someone types ".edu" at the end of a web address, it means they want to go to a website that belongs to a school or a college.

But why is it special? Well, the ".edu" domain name is only given to schools and colleges that meet certain rules and requirements. This helps make sure that the websites that have ".edu" in their name are trustworthy and official.

So, whenever you see a website with ".edu" at the end, you can be sure that it belongs to a school or a college and that you can trust the information on that website.
