Students will learn how to navigate an internet browser, learn how to formulate search terms to produce a successful result, and differentiate between safe websites and those with possible malware or viruses.  Classes will be held twice a week for 4 and a half weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-3:15pm.  You may attend all classes or individual classes based on the content being covered.

Today’s lesson focuses on:

1. Demonstrating familiarity with website structure (e.g. landing pages, internal pages)
2. Identifying common browser tools and icons (e.g. favorites, downloads, refresh and back)
3. Demonstrating ability to scroll up and down a page and left and right on a page.
4. Identifying and making use of common website interactions (e.g. play buttons, slideshows, weblinks)
