Students will be given a gentle introduction to the basic tools and techniques for using the Internet. We will approach “Safe Computing” from a pragmatic perspective by introducing “kid-friendly” sites and search engines. Students will learn how to “get on” the Internet by using a browser (Internet Explorer and Opera), navigate via links, and control various aspects of the browsing experience by changing some simple browser settings. Students will also learn how to save favorite sites, organize them, and access these “bookmarks” at a later time. Students will also be introduced to doing research on the Internet, and will learn how to identify “credible” sources of information.
