NOW GO TO A COMPUTER

Ask a student with experience or your teacher to help you with the next pages.

Note to teacher or tutor:

Depending on the set-up and your browser, items may appear differently. It is suggested that you use Internet Explorer and it appears as a shortcut on the desktop of the computers. If you don’t choose to put a shortcut, then you will need to teach the students how to open it from the programs menu. When students click in the address box on the browser, the address will appear blue. When the address is blue, the students can begin typing without deleting. You may wish to teach them this. Web page addresses often start with http:/ which while typing web page addresses is unnecessary. http:/ has been eliminated from the screen shots where students are asked to identify the address in these lessons, however when the students actually go to the sites, the address in the box changes to include it. You may choose to point this out to the students.
