Introduction to the Internet
The internet is a vast collection of computers, connected in a network that allows each computer to communicate with all the others. Following this are some links to web sites that can instruct you more on the background and uses of the internet. Clicking on a link will open a new browser window. (Browsers are discussed in more detail later.) To return to this site, just close the new window.
You need to select the first link "Welcome to the Web Tutorial." Check out the other ones as you have time.

Internet Browsers
As you should know at this point, the way we navigate (or move around) the World Wide Web is with a computer program called a browser. There are currently 2 main browsers for both the Macintosh and Windows computers. Select the link below that corresponds to your browser. If you are unsure of the kind you use, ask your teacher.
