Assignment #3: Internet Introduction/Tutorials
(All Hyperlinks Must Be Demonstrated Over The Internet For Grade!)

The Internet assignments involve using Firefox by Mozilla or Microsoft Explorer. The purpose of this Internet instruction is in surfing the Internet with search engines. Fortunately, the Jefferson Country Schools home page has about 18+ quality search engines that can be found on their home page at: http://204.98.1.1./connections

To log on the Internet, you are to go to your computer's desktop after you boot up. This is the screen that has all the program icons waiting for you. But first, you must log onto your computer as your own name with your own password.! Fortunately, all Pentium computers and the Gateway 2000 computer in the PC Lab are connected to the school district's T1 line for the Internet. Because we have only 20 computers connected to the Internet, we will need to double up with partners with about 7 to 10 students working together. Everybody else is to continue working at their individual workstation with the Internet assignments.
